Dahlonega and Frogtown
Dahlonega, Georgia (duh·LAA·nuh·guh)
Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Dahlonega is famous as the site of the first major U.S. Gold Rush in 1828. Its name is a Cherokee word for "yellow" or "gold".
Today, Dahlonega is a popular tourist destination, known as the heart of Georgia's wine country, with numerous award-winning wineries. Visitors can explore the historic downtown, pan for gold at local mines, hike to waterfalls in the Chattahoochee National Forest, and enjoy a vibrant arts scene and seasonal festivals, all just an hour north of Atlanta. It is also home to the University of North Georgia.
Frogtown
Frogtown Creek is a stream in Lumpkin County, Georgia. Dahlonega is the county seat. The creek empties into the Chestatee River about five miles north of Frogtown Cellars.
Frogtown is the figurative English translation of the Cherokee language name, which literally means "frog place". An Indian village once stood near the creek's bank.
Frogtown Cellars
In 1998, Atlantans’ Craig and Cydney Kritzer founded Frogtown Cellars in the “Frogtown District” of Lumpkin County; a viticultural area carefully selected for quality wine grape production and outstanding mountain views. Frogtown’s principal estate property is a 57 acre vineyard and winery complex at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, located equidistant between Dahlonega and Cleveland, Georgia. This estate property is within the Dahlonega Plateau, a recognized American Viticulture Area (AVA) .
