Northeast Georgia Wine Grape Production

This new agricultural enterprise is beneficial to both the producer and local economy in that its product boosts both the agricultural economy and also the retail/tourism economy. The information provided in the links below are an effort to begin compiling information for producers in Georgia who are interested in wine grape production on a commercial basis.
