We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Hightower Creek Vineyards. The owner of the Vineyard (Fred) sat with us for quite a while and was so friendly and hospitable. Fred told us all about the history of the vineyard and gave us a little tour of the place. He’s a very nice man and you can tell he truly wants his guests to enjoy their time their. We loved the Chatuga Red wine. We enjoyed it at the vineyard and bought a couple bottles to take with us. We were at the vineyard on a Saturday and they happened to have some very nice live entertainment 2-5pm. They have a great covered deck overlooking the grounds with comfortable seating and tables. We brought our dog and he thoroughly enjoyed as well. An afternoon we’ll spent!

Came here on a trip to Hiawassee, GA and we loved every minute of it! It wasn’t busy, so we had a choice to sit on the open air patio, the closed patio, or in the back room with the fire place. We stayed enough to sit at all 3 of them, and the wine was very good! They have a great variety of wines, and we ended up doing a taste test plus purchased a bottle of the sweet peach dueling banjos. It was a great relaxing evening, and we loved this winery! The staff if friendly, and the winery is clean and well kept. Feels like you’re at home. Highly recommend!

October 20 2023 Revisited. Had a great time, beautiful Vinyard, Brandon was hosting today, Emily was not working, so we missed her company. Great wines $$ and company. 2022 - Love the vineyards, "great staff," and view were great. Did we say the wine was very good, loved the Chardonnay on the left do good, and the Chutaga Red was so delicious. It's one of our favs. A must go to and enjoy. Wine prices were good $$.

On top of being beautiful, the staff was amazing. They have live music on Saturdays and allow dogs on their porch. We opted to drink a bottle of wine (the Red Clay Rose was delicious with just a hint of sweetness) on the chairs by the pond while our dog frolicked with the vineyard dog. We could not have planned a more relaxing afternoon. But we plan to come back without our dog to take full advantage of the tasting room.

The red tasting was great. All of the wines were good, but I most especially enjoyed the first wine (the cab franc) and the last wine (I can’t recall the name, but it was similar to a pinot noir). My spouse had a wine ‘lushie’, which she enjoyed, too. Staff was personable and kind, and the grounds were beautiful and well maintained. The swing at the top of the hill was a very calming place to sit, look out over the vineyards, and watch the bunnies graze on clover. Coming to the winery was a positive experience.
