A Romantic Vineyard Escape: Buckley Vineyards
Tucked away in the rolling green acres of the North Georgia Mountains, Buckley Vineyards is a hidden gem that offers the perfect setting for a romantic retreat. Whether you’re toasting with a glass of locally crafted wine, soaking in breathtaking mountain views, or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance, a visit to Buckley Vineyards is an experience worth savoring.
A Wine Lover’s Paradise
Owned by Kevin and Gay Buckley, Buckley Vineyards is a reflection of their passion for winemaking, hospitality, and the natural beauty of North Georgia. With over 20 handcrafted wines, each bottle is thoughtfully created to highlight the unique flavors of the region. Among the standout selections is The Frank, a bold, oak-aged Cabernet Sauvignon named after Kevin’s father, a natural leader known as “The Big Guy.” Aged two years in French Oak, this wine is rich and complex yet smooth and approachable, much like the man it honors.
Connie Apple Wine, a crisp, off-dry apple blend, pays tribute to Kevin’s grandmother, Corrine, an educator whose warmth and wisdom inspired “Apple for the Teacher.” Made from locally sourced apples and aged in stainless steel, this wine is light, fruit-forward, and perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon.
Beyond these tributes, Buckley Vineyards offers a diverse range of wines to suit every taste. The Norton, a semi-sweet spiced red with hints of cinnamon and honey, is perfect for cozy evenings, whether served warm or chilled. For something lighter, the Waterfall Rosé, produced from Chambourcin grapes, offers a refreshing, fruit-forward taste—ideal for unwinding with a view of the vineyard’s rolling hills. Whether you prefer a deep, velvety red or a crisp, refreshing white, each sip at Buckley Vineyards is a taste of craftsmanship and tradition.
Stay a While: A Cozy Cabin Getaway
For those who want to extend their visit, Buckley Vineyards offers a charming cabin stay that combines rustic beauty with modern comfort. Nestled in a peaceful, creekside setting, the Buckley Vineyard Cabin provides the perfect retreat for couples looking to relax and unwind.
The cabin features cozy yet contemporary furnishings, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Wake up to the sound of Turkey Creek, sip your morning coffee on the porch, and take in the stunning views of the surrounding vineyards. Guests who stay in the cabin also receive a complimentary tasting of six wines per person, making it an even sweeter escape for wine enthusiasts.
Just a short walk from the vineyard and tasting room, the cabin offers the ultimate convenience—allowing you to spend the day exploring the winery and the night basking in the tranquility of North Georgia’s countryside.

Capture the Moment with Henry
No visit to Buckley Vineyards is complete without a picture-perfect photoshoot in front of the vineyard’s signature mascot, “Henry.” This classic, antique truck has become a beloved landmark of the vineyard and serves as the ideal backdrop for romantic and nostalgic photos. Whether you’re toasting with a glass of wine, sharing a laugh, or simply posing in the golden light of a North Georgia sunset, a photo with Henry is a must for capturing the magic of your visit.
Whether you’re sipping on a glass of The Frank Cabernet, cozying up by the fireplace in the vineyard cabin, or snapping a keepsake photo with Henry the truck, Buckley Vineyards offers an unforgettable North Georgia wine experience.
