This AVA located in Georgia’s northern region. The Dahlonega Plateau derives its name from a long, narrow, northeast-southwest trending plateau in the northern foothills of the Georgia Piedmont known by that name. The plateau covers most of Lumpkin, Dawson, White, Pickens and Cherokee Counties. However, the AVA is limited to the northeastern portion of the plateau, in Lumpkin and White Counties, due to a lack of viticulture in the southwestern region of the plateau, as well topographical and climatic differences. Dahlonega Plateau viticultural area encompasses approximately 133 sq mi (85,120 acres) and is not a sub-region within another AVA.
