Kaya Vineyard and Winery is a rebirth of Blackstock Vineyards; located in Dahlonega, Georgia. Blackstock was one of the first and largest vineyards in the Dahlonega area (40ac). The unfortunate closing of the Blackstock winery in late 2012 paved the way for a complete renovation and re-vitalization of the property. Our future is exciting with plans that include a twenty-two hotel with restaurant, fifteen craftsman cottages, and an event facility that can seat up to three hundred making it the largest resort winery North of Atlanta. Both Kaya’s Winery and Tasting Room are built atop a ridge that is sixteen-hundred feet above elevation, and offers the most exquisite panoramic mountain views in North Georgia. Carrying over into the tasting room boasted by twelve foot windows, Edison light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, reclaimed wood, and concrete makes looking over the Appalachian Mountains a fantasy. Want to be outside enjoy the cool summer breezes on our two-thousand square-foot covered deck with live music and most importantly some wine. All of Kaya wines are made exclusively from estate grown grapes produced from our property. The Werkheiser family believes that wine is made in the vineyard, and our wines represent specific grown styles to fulfill their particular niche. Our vineyards are planted with classic European varieties as well as some from Italian and some from the Americas. All of our grapes are hand harvested and gently processed in our facility we call this the “art of wine”. Thou our techniques are meticulous and but real secret lies in the management of the vineyard, this is were Ariel shines producing wonderful fruit to turn into wine. After harvest the wine goes to the temperature and humidity controlled barrel room is the perfect environment for the slow and traditional integration of flavor and aroma between the wood and fruit. We as a team at Kaya love producing hand-crafted complex wines that cater to the serious enthusiast all the way to beginners in the trade. Our goal in the tasting room is to provide an educational experience for those with a passion to learn more about wine, and in a very relaxed, down-to-earth environment. We look forward to sharing the Kaya experience with you!Kaya Vineyard and Winery is a rebirth of Blackstock Vineyards; located in Dahlonega, Georgia.
