Habersham Winery Tasting Room Hours and Tasting Cutoff Times

Updated

Habersham Winery & Vineyards' tasting room is open Monday–Thursday 11 a.m.–7 p.m., Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–8 p.m., and Sunday 12:30 p.m.–7 p.m. Tastings end 30 minutes before closing, so the last tasting start is 6:30 p.m. Monday–Thursday, 7:30 p.m. Friday–Saturday, and 6:30 p.m. Sunday. These are the hours published on the winery's site; confirm them before you travel, since seasonal or holiday changes are not listed.

Hours at a glance

Day Tasting room hours Last tasting start (30 min before close)
Monday–Thursday 11 a.m.–7 p.m. 6:30 p.m.
Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–8 p.m. 7:30 p.m.
Sunday 12:30 p.m.–7 p.m. 6:30 p.m.

The 30-minute rule applies to tastings specifically, not to the tasting room itself. You can still be on the property until closing time, but a tasting started later than the cutoff times above is not available.

Planning your visit around the cutoff

The cutoff matters most on weekend evenings, when the room stays open an hour later than on weekdays. If a tasting is the main reason for your stop, aim to arrive well before the last-start time rather than exactly at it — a tasting takes time, and arriving at the cutoff leaves no margin.

A practical example: a Saturday visit that begins at 7:45 p.m. falls inside opening hours but after the last tasting start, so you would be limited to browsing or shopping rather than tasting. Shifting that arrival to 7 p.m. or earlier keeps a full tasting within the window.

Sunday is the tightest day in another way: the room does not open until 12:30 p.m., so a morning arrival will find it closed. Plan Sunday visits for the afternoon.

What else to know before you go

  • Location context: the winery describes itself as one of Georgia's oldest and largest, producing award-winning wines since 1983, and sits right outside Helen, Georgia.
  • Wines available: both Habersham and Creekstone wines can be ordered for shipping or pickup through the online shop, so a visit is not the only way to buy.
  • Ownership: the winery states it is locally and family owned.
  • Updates: the site's social feed is where new items and events are posted, which makes it a reasonable place to check for announcements close to your visit date.

Verifying hours before you drive out

Published hours can change around holidays or special events, and the site does not list exceptions. Before making a trip, check the winery's website or its Instagram account for current hours, and treat the table above as the standard schedule rather than a guarantee for a specific date. If your schedule depends on a late tasting, call ahead or confirm the cutoff for that day.
