Fainting Goat • 110 Rathgeb Tr.
Vineyards & Winery Jasper, GA 30143
Why “Fainting Goat?” Like goats, (770) 735-1210
the operators of this boutique vineyard
happily tend to a mountainous land.
And, they put the word “fainting” in
front of it because fainting goats are fun
and whimsical - and that is how wine
tasting should be. This vineyard, nestled
up against the southeast side of Burnt
Mountain, is the basis for handcrafted
wines grown from the finest certified
French vines. Come for the wine, stay
for the view. The vineyard is a favorite
wedding and events venue, as well.
