Cairn View Winery

Cairn View Winery is a boutique winery in Waycross, GA, offering a personalized tasting experience in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Located in Jasper, Georgia, the winery specializes in handcrafted wines and invites guests to enjoy curated tastings paired with bites that enhance flavor profiles. Reservations are encouraged for table seating, though walk-ins are welcome, and the winery emphasizes a warm, welcoming environment where guests can savor wine and connect with the North Georgia mountain landscape. The winery is family-owned and operated by Brent and Deborah Hancock, who also founded Bent Tree Lodge & Vineyard, a bed and breakfast established in 2018. Their vision for Cairn View Winery was inspired by a visit to Jackson Hole Winery in 2020, where a personalized tasting experience solidified their desire to bring similar service to the North Georgia wine scene.

The name Cairn View Winery honors Mt. Oglethorpe, the ridge line visible from the property, which once marked the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. The winery’s concept, “Wine for Happy Trails,” reflects a commitment to creating meaningful, memorable experiences for visitors. The Hancock family’s background in hospitality and their dedication to service shape the winery’s atmosphere, where guests are treated as friends. The winery offers private events, online shopping, and a wine club, all centered around the unique character of North Georgia’s mountain terroir.

Cairn View Winery is a new addition to the region, having been established in 2022, and stands out as a premier boutique destination in Jasper’s First Mountain City. With a strong foundation in hospitality and a focus on personalized service, it has quickly become a distinctive presence in Georgia’s growing wine community.
