History
Established in 2009.
Hightower Creek is the dream of Sanford and Liz Green, two Georgia natives who relocated to Hiawassee in 1996. Having fallen in love with the wines being produced in the North Georgia Mountains and encouraged by family and friends, the couple began planting the family farm with grapevines in 2008.
Today, Hightower Creek has close to six acres under vine, with further expansion planned. Varieties include Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Gris, and Vignoles. Other varieties are purchased from trusted local growers.
Wines are crafted on-site and sold through the tasting room. We welcome everyone, regardless of wine knowledge or tastes, to stop by and experience Hightower Creek!

Liz G.
Business Owner
Liz fell in love with the mountains when moving her family to Hiawassee, GA in 1996. After a successful career as a small-business owner in Hiawassee, Liz and her husband Sanford planted the first block of Hightower Creek Vineyards vines in 2009.
Today, Liz spends her time making new friends in the winery’s tasting room and helping her son Travis craft award-winning wines in the cellar.
