Blairsville-Union County is home to some lovely wineries and distilleries

In fact, our area was recently named an American Viticultural Area (AVA) - a distinction carried by grape-growing regions like Napa Valley and Sonoma. Most vineyards offer tastings and typically have music or other fun events as you sniff, sample, and enjoy each distinct vintage. Come and taste for yourself at one of our fabulous wineries.
