In most states you can legally make up to 200 gallons of wine per year at home without a permit (check your state regulations to be sure as it may vary). Come see me. I’d love to get you on the right track. 

Heck no!  I’m only an expert at liking what I like. My palate is wide ranging and I don’t claim to be anything but a wine lover, winemaker and Vino’s Chick. Don’t judge me I won’t judge you #nowinesnobzone 

Absolutely! We love private parties! All kinds! Contact us to coordinate! hello@imadethis.wine

 We can accommodate groups of 14 in Dahlonega and 30 in McDonough.

We are a destination. An experience. McDonough isn't that far from Atlanta and 

Dahlonega is beautiful, off the beaten path and situated right in wine country. The drive is easy and scenic. There’s so much to do in Dahlonega and the North Georgia Mountains so plan a day to come make some wine with us, then visit a couple of wineries/vineyards, do brunch or lunch at one of the many local restaurants, go shopping, take a scenic hike…the list goes on. But just get in the car and get up here to hang with us! If all else fails move closer.

When we're busy setting up for your scheduled experience, including mopping,  we don't want you to slip and fall, so doors open 10-15 minutes prior to your reservation. If you arrive earlier please feel free to relax on our benches or pick up one of our hula hoops and go at it.  

Our winemaking experiences require pre-registration/reservations. Click here to book Contac`t us at info@vinoschick.com to book a private group experience or register for one of our pre-scheduled experiences. 

Sorry to hear that. Histamines found in the skin of grapes seem to give some people headaches if they are sensitive to histamines. Luckily, wine can be made from so many fruit sources and at DWS, we’ve got you covered with an assortment of non-grape options. So….when are you coming to see us so you can get rid of the wine headache by making your own histamine free wine? 

Contact info@vinoschick.com to schedule a virtual winemaking experience for you and your group. We'll ship the winemaking kits to each person and schedule an amazing winemaking experience via ZOOM.
