How It All Started
A Dream In The Mountains
When Sharon and Doug Paul first purchased the land that is now Three Sisters Vineyards, they saw more than rolling hills and quiet mountain views. Standing on the property, Doug looked across the fields and said with a smile, “I think we can grow a few grapes here.”
What began as a lighthearted idea soon became a passion project. After years of soil and temperature testing, research, and careful planning, Sharon and Doug officially established Three Sisters Vineyards on July 19, 1996 — the same day the Atlanta Olympic Games opened.

A Fabulous
Mountain Vineyard
Three Sisters Vineyards has always been a family effort. From planting the first vines to welcoming guests in the tasting room, the vineyard has grown through the dedication of Sharon, Doug, and the people who share their vision.
Located in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains near Dahlonega, the vineyard sits at an elevation that provides ideal conditions for growing European vinifera grapes, along with hybrids and American varietals.
Warm days, cool mountain nights, and well-drained soils create the balance needed to produce wines with character, structure, and depth.
Today, the vineyard spans acres of carefully tended vines, producing estate wines that reflect both the land and the dedication of the family behind it.
Why “Three Sisters”?
Just like the name the vineyard takes it's name from. Three Sisters reflects the spirit of family and the connection between the land, the vines, and the people who care for them.
Our name reflects the mountains that surround the vineyard, strength, tradition, and the idea that great things grow when people work together.
Over the years, Three Sisters has become more than just a winery. It has become a place where friends gather, families celebrate, and visitors experience the beauty of North Georgia wine country.
