“Yonah Mountain Vineyards is a beautiful 90-minute drive from Atlanta and the payoff is worth the drive — award-winning wines, live music, and a breathtaking setting all year round,” said Bob Miller, owner of Yonah Mountain Vineyards. “We are so happy to be back with Crush Fest after a two-year hiatus. It is a true celebration with a festival atmosphere and lots to do, see and taste, including a traditional barefoot grape stomping! We invite everyone to come up and celebrate the Harvest with us and see first-hand that Georgia wineries are producing excellent wines on par with Napa Valley.”

Crush Fest, held at Yonah Mountain Vineyards since 2010, has become a summer tradition and is regarded as one of the best wine festivals in the Southeast, according to the winery’s website.
