Doghobble Wine Farm in Dahlonega is just over an hour from Atlanta , and it’s one of the easiest ways to trade the city for a glass of wine with a mountain view. The farm sits on 80 acres atop the Dahlonega Plateau, a certified American Viticultural Area in the heart of Georgia’s wine country.

Doghobble is a working wine farm, not a big commercial operation. Founders Sam and Robin Zamarripa built it around native and regional grapes, sustainable farming, and a relaxed pace. Guests sip in Trellis, a rustic-modern farmhouse tasting room, or outside on the pavilion overlooking the vineyards and pastures.
Whether you’re planning a day trip, an anniversary afternoon, or a weekend exploring Dahlonega wine country, here’s what to know before you visit the farm.
What is wine tasting like at Doghobble Wine Farm?
Wine tasting at Doghobble is laid-back and unpretentious. Walk-ins are welcome any day, but weekends get busy, so a reservation is recommended for Saturdays and Sundays. You can book ahead on Tock.
The self-guided tasting lets you pick six wines from the list and enjoy them at your own pace in Trellis or out on the pavilion. Groups can book a large-party tasting, and a guided tasting is available for anyone who wants to learn more about how each wine is grown and made.
The wines are what set Doghobble apart. The farm focuses on native and hybrid grapes suited to North Georgia, served alongside more familiar varieties, so even regular wine drinkers will find something new. Browse the full lineup on the Our Wines page. Wine is also available by the glass or bottle if you’d rather skip the flight and settle in.
Pair your visit with food from the Farm Table for a slower afternoon, or join one of the farm’s seasonal dinners and gatherings listed on the events page.
Can you host a private event at Doghobble Wine Farm?
Yes. Doghobble hosts private events of all kinds, using the farmhouse, the pavilion, and the vineyard views as the backdrop. The most popular gatherings are:
- Rehearsal dinners
- Wedding welcome parties
- Bachelorette parties
- Bridal showers
- Corporate events and team outings
Compared with an indoor venue in Atlanta, the farm gives your group open space, mountain air, and wine made on site. Larger gatherings can use the Pavilion on the Plateau, and food can be handled by the Doghobble kitchen, led by Chef Becca, so you aren’t coordinating a separate caterer.
To start planning, fill out the request form on the private events page and the events team will follow up to talk through dates, group size, and menu options.
Can you bring kids to Doghobble Wine Farm?
Yes, kids are welcome on the outdoor pavilion, and the farm animals are a big hit with younger visitors. Doghobble is a working farm, and guests can see the animals that roam the pastures while the adults enjoy their wine.
The overall atmosphere is calm and adult-focused. Most guests come to slow down, take in the view, and enjoy a glass of wine, so it works best for families who are happy to keep things relaxed rather than looking for a play area or kids’ activities.
Doghobble is also a good stop during Dahlonega’s busiest seasons. Fall brings color to the surrounding mountains, and the holiday season in town makes a winery visit an easy add-on to a family weekend.
