  As a budding oenologist, I was discovering the wines in the emerging Georgia Wine Trail. The folks at the winery were rude, gave me the impression that I was challenging them when I was asking about their wines. I haven't been back since. Not only the worst of Dahlonega wineries as another reviewer offered, the worst I have ever been to.

  Very rude staff. Weird smell. Wine leaves a lot to be desired. Scenery is still beautiful, but the worst of the Dalonega wineries.

  Jordan was our tasting guru. We enjoyed the visit and the wine. This was not our first choice winery, but in hindsight, we are very happy with this winery. Great venue and really top notch tasting. Jordan knows her wine and is very wine savvy. Awesome.Cheers, ya'll

  I am never coming here again! We were advised "they do not have reservations on Saturday....they cannot accommodate our large party of 20 (black women)..." yet there were many empty tables.... Then a party of 20 (white men/women) came and walked straight into the place and were seated immediately? ??? I am sitting here on the porch in the hot sun, as we were directed to go, smh... i am shocked and appalled

  The best red wines I have ever tasted on the East Coast. I have been to Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara/Santa Ynez, Washington State, the Finger Lakes and most of the east coast states. The growing season is generally shorter for reds on the east coast. Frogtown has planted Touriga, Tannat as well as Cab. Sauv., Merlot, Cab. Franc and Petit Verdot. Their Touriga and Tannat are excellent and they have also blended them to make several different Red Blends - something for everybody. While they fall just slightly short of Napa, Sonoma and Washington, they are exceptional for the east coast. The down side is that they are becoming over-priced, in my opinion. The facility is elegant and the owners are very customer friendly. They have a wine club where you become a citizen for free and enjoy free tastings while accepting quarterly shipments of 3 bottles - choosing between red only, white only or a mix of both. They also do barrel tastings and set special dinners.

  We (five friends) thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting. It's fun to drive through the vineyards on the way to Frogtown. The hostess who led our tasting, Brooke, was delightful, knowledgeable and very informative. My husband and I are members and get free tastings. Our non-member friends were just as pleased with the experience.

  This is probably our third favorite winery of the area after tiger and wolf mountain. The tasting area had a bit of s bar feel and there were a lot of sweet wines,which are not our favorite, but we tasted a few decent drier ones.

  This is one of two premier wineries in the Helen, GA area. The grounds are very pretty with waterfalls and fish. The tasting bar and restaurant are just gorgeous. As other reviewers have mentioned, they do tend to be a bit snobbish here. The wine is very good if you can afford to taste and buy it. Wine tastings are a whooping $15 for six one ounce tastes for their dry wines and $10 for six for their sweet offerings. On top of that, the tastings are in flights. You don't get to pick and choose. It's no wonder that tasting fees are not shown are their website. It would scare a lot of people away. Dry wine prices range from $19 to a whopping $38 per bottle. Sweet wine runs $15 - 20. A very nice place with very good wine, but if you go be prepared to open you wallet.

  The drive to the winery was lovely, and the view from it was very special, However, the service and the white wines were poor. We went as a family the Monday before Christmas for a light lunch. I had used their website and sent a message asking if we needed reservations. I never got an email response. We phoned the day before and were told they would be open for lunch and tastings. When we got there, it looked closed. There was one woman behind the bar who told us they didn't serve lunch, but we could do a wine tasting. It was freezing cold inside and we stood at the bar and tasted their white flight and ate goldfish crackers. The last 3 wines on the flight were undrinkable - sweet and cloyingly bad. Near the end of our visit another woman whom I suspect was the owner arrived. She was busy getting packages ready to ship out. She never acknowledged us or talked to us even though she was standing right next to us. The bartender kind of whispered, "well, if you really want a sandwich I could ask her" but by that time we were through. We were very disappointed especially since we had friends who love the place.

  Frogtown is in a pretty area, the building is lovely, but the overall experience wasn't our style. We chose the red flight of 7 wines at $16 per person (I might be wrong about the details, but I'm close). There were a couple of reds that were interesting to me, but the bottle prices are out of our range! I found the atmosphere to be more professional than personal, and we like to get some sense of a personal connection. We didn't have a bad experience. Things just didn't "click" for us, so we'll be able to skip this one on future visits to the area.
