Nice setting. Good wine. But I felt short changed on the panini. Ordered chicken pesto cheese. I thought for a moment they forgot the chicken. What I found was extremely small bits of chicken. So small that it was irrelevant. Couldn’t taste it. Not sure what the point of it was. Definitely wouldn’t order again. In addition, I guess they’ve followed the trend of all the wineries to charge $12-14 a glass. Oh well. I guess inflation got them too. Maybe if you drink enough wine you wont notice.

I love the wine and the atmosphere. Their Great Pyrenees Tucker is the perfect host in the tasting room. Stroll on outside and enjoy the donkeys as you sit around the fire pit. Summertime wine slushies are yummy and refreshing!

Enjoyable and family friendly. Donkeys and Tucker the dog were fun. Wine was actually pretty good and atmosphere was laid back and great.

Loved this vineyard! There is a whole food menu (flatbreads, sandwiches, charcuterie) that’s not listed online. Also if you’re looking for a playground, it is no longer there. It’s been replaced by donkey stables. Still a great spot though with an amazing Zinfandel!

Lovely property, live the Cab-Sauv red!

One of our favorite vineyards! The scenery was amazing! Food was amazing (grilled cheese tomato soup) and the donkeys were the best!! Oh- and the wine was great too!! Can’t wait to visit again! (My fav was the Zinfandel)

We had a great time here! Large seating area both indoor and outdoor. They have fireplace on the patio and fire pits in the outdoor area which was nice during the cold weather. We had their most popular wine amendment and we liked it. food was just ok and pricey.

Great vineyard bar with large indoor seating areas. We did not try the food available but the menu looked great. Beautiful surroundings and a very sweet guard dog. Delicious wines and friendly staff.

Worst service and bad attitude by the lady owner. Would not suggest bringing friends or appearing if you are out of town. Disappointing to say the least.
We had such an awesome time! Tasting is very convenient you order find a spot and Rick can by and is a wealth of information about the wines! We met the donkeys, sat by the fire and watched the sunset listening to live music. We came here thinking we would go to other wineries but enjoyed our time we stayed here! Definitely would visit again!!

Well done Cavender Creek Vineyards! You have created such a relaxing atmosphere. As a visitor to the area - fantastic sampling of North Georgia wine country. Enjoyed a glass of wine next to a fire on a cold winter day. Great selection of wines produced on property. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk with.Definitely recommend and will be back.

Nice space overall. Stayed inside because it was cold but got there early so was able to have a good space for me and my friends. Was hoping to be outside more and had heard they have a playground but didn't see it.

My sister and I went for a hike in the area and decided to stop by. The food and wine were amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back.

We came here on a weekend over the Holidays while visiting downtown Dahlonega. It is about 10 minutes from the downtown area and has a long, welcoming gravel driveway. There is a good amount of parking and on the day we were there, there was live music. We lucked out and grabbed a reserved couch near the only TV, which the party who reserved it had left early, so we took the rest of their time. It also happened to be near the fireplace, which was clutch. There is an indoor area, a covered patio area (where we were), and an outdoor area, which was pretty full even though it was cold, they had fire pits out there. There is also some room for kids to run around and there were some kids for sure. I would describe it as kid friendly. You order up at the counter and they have wine, beer (not theirs), and food. We got a few flights and the selection is great. A couple of the flights have 4 pours and others have 6. You pay to get your flight ticket and then go to a station to turn in your ticket and watch them pour. The pours are measured and the wooden holder for the flight is cool. The food here is not the best, but at least it is offered and the selection is pretty good. The staff were all super friendly. There is a cabin onsite that you can stay in for the night.
