Great little winery tucked away next to mount Yonah.

Nikki Broderick

Great atmosphere. Great wines. Great entertainment.

Jennifer Fink

We got there a little late to do an actual wine tasting, but the young lady that waited on us was very friendly and accomadating. She still allowed us to taste a few so that we could decide on what to have with our amazing pizza while we enjoyed the live music. We had an awesome time and met some great people along the way. I can't wait until we take another trip up here! This will definitely be one of the first wineries we visit!

Love the luce de sola....limoncello...love the atmosphere

Rob Poppell

The patio at Serenity is beautiful and the wines are decent. They had live music when we visited, which was nice. But this place was just way too busy to enjoy for me. There were probably 4 wine tour buses in the parking lot when we arrived. I felt like our small group was being herded through our tasting.

Suzanne Luce

We went on a Friday night to do the wine tasting and sit and enjoy the music. Way better than we even expected. Super time and the music was awesome. Highly recommend bringing snacks and enjoying their awesome wines. Joe and Tina introduced themselves and we're great fun. Highly recommend!

Joe Fon

Had some great wine here in October, went back today walked right up to the counter and was ignored. Staff a lot different in summer than fall. Walked out we will see when we come back in October if we can buy some great wine from friendly people because today was not good.

Giovanni Caravello

Excellent.. very friendly stuff .. definitely going back

Doria Halonen

Jamie Pace

Myeaser Collins

The wine tasting experience was great here. They have a wine that taste like chocolate amazing! Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Walt Cook

The was a bit expensive. On Friday nights they will let you bring your own pizza ingredients, and they have a chef who will help you assemble your pizza abs Cook it fir yogi in their brick oven.

Danielle Shepardson

Great place for live music and bring you own pizza Friday nights!

Amanda Neal

Great wine , awesome place :)

Ron Freeman

Great place. Super staff. We went for a wine tasting and the experience was awesome. Bought a couple bottles. Good people, good wine.

Ellen Schlossberg

My fave place for a glass outside.

Elaine Samaan

This place is fantastic! We are up for a girl’s weekend from Florida. Captain Malbec (aka Mike) was an amazing host! He made our experience so special! He steered us toward La Famiglia Rosso, which he referred to as the baby maker, for a great red wine. It was delicious! They had a food truck available, which we partaked with an amazing couple orders of egg rolls, although many people brought their own food. The late night music mixed with the beautiful ambiance made this an amazing experience. I would highly recommend making this a stop on your wine tour! Make sure to stop in and say hello to Captain Malbec. He is AMAZING!!!! ❤️

Pat Mcinvale

We stopped for a visit and stayed for the entire afternoon. The wine, the music and the friendly staff and customers made our visit a memorable experience. We cannot wait to return for a visit.

Sarah LeBlanc

Horrible customer service. Owners and workers are extremely rude. Don’t go here if you’re looking for an enjoyable experience. There are plenty of other north Georgia wineries to have a good time at, don’t waste your time at this one.

Thomas Farrell

Lovely wine, far better than smoothing else I've had in the area.

Shana Sims

Its a very beautiful place. The people there are so awsome.

Daniella .Tapia

Very relaxing and fun place close to home! Beautiful pasture of flowers.

Goddess of Trauma

The wine was excellent. There was live music. We bought t-shirts and other souvenirs. Everyone was so nice!!!

Jason DePaola

Beautiful location, excellent wine!

Rob Perkins

If you're around Helen, this is a must do!

Donna Marie Koegler

Awesome. We travel from SC to GA twice a year to get their great wines. Joe Smith is a master wine maker. The grounds are beautiful, and all the staff so attentive and friendly.

Ben Cook

The staff was delightful and wine was great! For right around $12 we tried 8 wines and they were good. We were then given a map of all the local wineries and recommended which ones we should try. Only down side is that we didn't get to keep the glass, those are an additional $10. Still worth the trip!

Megan Hofmeyer

Like their Italian style wines. Must go back for live entertainment on a Friday.

Tim Saccomanno

Excellent

Mikki Savage

Mike was an amazing Director of Merriment. We immediately felt like family. And the wine was wonderful. Can't wait to go back on our next visit to the Helen area!!!

Rob Alvarez

Very beautiful property

Pam Pleasures

Love the wine, pizza, the music and the staff at Serenity Cellars and thank you for letting me bring the cake that I made for my little sister and my daughter birthday

Adrienne Howard

One of my favorite spots!! Going again today!

Ratna Atri

Beautiful vineyard, great service and attention to detail at the wine tasting. Live music was very nice. Definitely recommend and we will go back soon. The outdoor patio is perfect.

Briana Barrett

Fun place and atmosphere. Just know if you're going to have a fun group night you might want to be quiet or even sit on the patio. The musician and one of the employees hushed us on two separate occasions and we weren't even that loud. Just a small group out enjoying our night. Then we asked an employee what the etiquette of the night was and she said we needed to be respectful during a certain song. I would love to go back, but I enjoy my company and speaking and laughing at a proper level more. Will most likely attend another vineyard.

Bhanu Varma

Picturesque and beautiful... Loved this place. Had some amazing wine tasting sessions

John Creek

This is one of my favorite places in North Georgia. I love the wine, the atmosphere and the locals around here are the greatest. Weekends come with live music. In the back, there is an amazing grotto complete with a hand built brick pizza oven. When they fire the oven up, you can bring your own pizza ingredients and get a fresh made pizza to eat with your wine.

A V

My favorite winery in North Georgia ❤️

Chrissy Casey

Unfortunately, I felt the service was slightly lacking. I recognize it is a weekend and the winery was moderately busy but myself and my visiting family felt rushed during our tasting. The live music was good but overall I wasn't overly impressed by the wines available for tasting or the services.

William McPherson

Very nice

Nicole Cook

Beautiful building, nice location. Knowledgeable lady serving the wine. Live music and on Fridays if you bring in a pizza or ingredients to make one they will cook it in their brick oven.

Marci Cisson

Joe has created a wonderful atmosphere! From the staff to the wines it's all a great experience! A definite must do when in North Georgia! Beautiful place

Jason Poole

Beautiful location and great live entertainment. Wine was good as well.

Desiree King

This was our favorite winery during our trip to Helen, GA. We did the wine tasting, bought a couple bottles, and drank one of them outside with some meat/cheese/crackers and enjoyed the live music. It was great sitting outside among the vineyards enjoying our time. The owners and staff were all friendly and professional. We will definitely be going back when we visit Helen again!

Kevin Gardner

A great little vineyard. Paid wine flights. A bit tough to get to, but the representative that serves our wine flight knew her stuff and had very good descriptions of the wines. Reasonably entertaining venue. We left with about $150 in wines.

maria sandoval

A good wine and place

Samuel Zuniga

This is a gorgeous winery with a touch of Italy. Live music on the large patio was amazing. It even has its own grotto (last photo)! The frozen sangria should be sold as popsicles in stores nationwide!

Sandra Diaz

Love! We had reservations at 8 but didn't get their until 30 minutes til close and they accomadated us! Superb service! We bought couple wine bottles, had the chance to make our own pizza and still had time to celebrate my sister's bachelorette party. Will definitely recommend to visit while in Helen!

Robin West

This place settles in the heart of the mountains with warm and cozy atmosphere. Live music, great wine and a beautiful scenery. You definitely want to put this place on your list to try and I promise, you will be a customer for life.

Ronald Vedder

Neat little winery.

Jonathan Baker

The wines are interesting, and some are quite good; however, the Friday night brick oven pizza experience is somewhat lacking. The staff seems troubled that you are asking for the advertised experience, and we waited 2 hours for a pizza we were told would be prepared within 45 minutes. We had to request the pizza, which we cooked at home, be returned to us in order to have dinner. They seemed far more focused on the frequent customers than the visitors.

ricky colter

Great wines, entertainment on certain days/nights, friendly staff and a relaxing environment!

Carrie Aleman

The entertainment was amazing! Got to sit outside shaded and listen to good music and the wine was amazing! We came on a Sunday and had an amazing time.

Matthew Anthony

Joe's wines are definitely at the top of the heap, not only in Georgia! Service is great, the location is super low-key and quaint feeling. My wife and I have started to end our wine trips here because we like it the best! Matthew & Gretchen Anthony Venetian Level Members

Alexander Cazeau

I really like this winery, the staff were friendly and nice. Great music playing on the outside. Great place to hang out.

Mark

Very cool place with beautiful views. The wine was delicious! Live music every Friday night.

Scott Koegler

Great wine and music. Back again for the 4th year. Joe Smith's wines are at the top of the list for regional quality and we always come away with more than we expected to buy.

Helen King

Get the limoncello! It’s amazing. We were there on a wine tour and had a nice little tasting. They also have a nice selection of novelty items if you’re into wine themed decor. I bought coaster sets for all my girl friends.

James Amrod

Friendly staff. We had a glass of wine and listened to the live music while eating some food which we brought with us. A pleasant experience.

Robert Spinks

Loved it.

Suesan Miller

Love Love Love this place.

Jennifer Swizdaryk

Great wine, friendly relaxed atmosphere! Live music.

Kevin Mccann

Very cool winery outside of Helen. They have a great wine tasting showcasing the best wines they offer.

Steve Salstrand

Amazing staff and great wines! Paired with the atmosphere it's the perfect place

Katya Shirokova

this spot brings sweet memories

Kyfer Ez

Friday night is the night to go! Be sure to bring pizza fixings and they will bake it in their brick oven. The live music while themed for a 50's crowd was excellent! 5 stars to the musician's cover of American Pie!

Korey Ogden

If you want an afternoon hangout spot, Serenity is tucked away in the hills with an outstanding patio and live music stage. Beautiful grounds. If you are more concerned about the wine tasting experience, Serenity was just okay. The tasting room is small with very little counter space, and our tasting of 7 wines was conducted by 3 different bartenders, who were forgetting where we were in our tasting and seemed overwhelmed and stressed. Most of the wines were not from estate grapes, which was disappointing. Chardonnay was just “good.” Better options nearby for better wines.

Mark Earley

Great wine, and pleasant dining experience on Friday night. The Majestic and Familia Rosso reds were very good, as was the Bianco Bello white. They cooked up our Hickory Stump pizza kit in their brick oven, and we had a great evening in the shadow of Yonah Mountain.
