A 100% Female-Owned Winery Crafting Exceptional Wines On-Site
Stunning Mountain Views Await
Bear Claw Vineyards and Winery is nestled in the picturesque Blue Ridge, Georgia, renowned for its breathtaking mountain vistas, crystal-clear springs, and abundant wildlife. Owners Kevin and Michelle Swim transitioned from suburban life to this serene setting, where they found a beautiful winery with a natural spring and refreshing breezes. They decided to share this tranquil land with others seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The Treehouse Guys from the DIY Network even constructed a charming treehouse on the property, adding to its allure.
Exceptional Wines in a Relaxing Atmosphere
After thorough research, it became clear that this location was perfect for grape cultivation, thanks to its cool mountain breezes and rich, unique soils. This led to the establishment of Bear Claw Vineyards, where high-quality wines are crafted in a soothing and inviting environment.
Ideal Venue for Weddings and Events
Situated on historic Cherokee Indian land, the vineyard is just over thirty minutes from the Chief Vann House Museum, a significant cultural site. The natural beauty of Bear Claw Vineyards makes it an ideal setting for outdoor weddings and receptions, while the elegant Banquet Hall provides a lovely indoor option. Every couple deserves a memorable wedding, and this venue offers a picturesque backdrop for creating lasting memories.

Bear Claw Vineyards is a great spot to hanging out for a few hours that is close to Blue Ridge. Great wine! Food truck and snacks were available. Great music! We visit Blue Ridge often and this is one of our regular stops. A+

This place is awesome, the staff is super friendly and the vibe is chill. Only thing that I wish they'd change is adding to their website that THEY DO HAVE FOOD!!! There's an adorable food truck right off of the main deck! They have nachos, hot dogs, wraps etc. We brought our own food because it wasn't advertised but next time we will know better!

This is a great winery! Had a girls trip to the area and it was mentioned multiple times in the guestbook at our air bnb so we decided to try it out. We had flights to try and see what we liked best and I fell in love with the scuppernog! Best wine ever! Bartender was amazing and so sweet. Also have an assortment of gifts and we managed to find some things for our loved ones. My husband got some of memaws cheese tiddies 😂🤣
