The market
Land, agriculture and hospitality in one property.
North Georgia has become a real wine region, with two American Viticultural Areas, the Dahlonega Plateau and the Upper Hiwassee Highlands, and dozens of vineyards and tasting rooms that draw weekend visitors from Atlanta.
A winery is several assets together: land and vines, production equipment, a tasting room, often an event venue, and the licenses that let it make and sell wine. Buyers value each piece and the business that ties them together. Georgia’s farm winery license and the federal winery permit both matter, and neither simply transfers with a deed.
Vineyard land without a winery appeals to growers and to buyers planning their own label. Slope, aspect, elevation, soils and water all affect what a site can grow.

Selling one
Selling a winery or vineyard.
Owners in this niche sell to a short list of serious buyers. Reaching them, with the right documents ready, is most of the job.
Wine country buyers are often relocating families or hospitality operators who fall for the setting first and do the numbers second. We give them both: drone and dusk imagery of the vines and the view, and a clear package of revenue, licenses, equipment and event permissions.
We also separate what transfers with the property from what the buyer must apply for, so the closing timeline is realistic and the buyer’s lender is not surprised.
Questions
Wineries & Vineyards: questions we hear.
Do winery licenses transfer to a buyer?
Generally not automatically. A buyer usually applies for their own state and federal licenses, and the timeline for that should be built into the contract.
What are the Dahlonega Plateau and Upper Hiwassee Highlands?
They are federally recognized American Viticultural Areas in North Georgia, grape-growing regions defined by their climate and terrain.
Can a vineyard host weddings?
Many do, but events depend on zoning and county permits, septic capacity and parking. Confirm the permissions before you rely on event income.
Do you sell vineyard land without a winery?
Yes. We represent buyers and sellers of plantable land and established vineyards as well as operating wineries.
