Utermoehlen Carter and her
husband, Garnet Carter.
One bar was offering free wine
samples (up to five!) so of course, I
partook. The wines were from
Georgia Winery, a local vineyard near
Lookout Mountain. I tasted the
Chattanooga Blush, a sweet wine
that was named “Best of Blush”
twice in the Wines of the South
Competition. It was delightful! I also
sampled Georgia on My Mind, a white
wine with hints of peaches. It is the
most awarded wine for Georgia
Winery. This was quite tasty as well.
Rocktoberfest runs every weekend
through October, but if you can’t
make it, Rock City hosts many other
events throughout the year.
November through January marks
their holiday season and includes the
Enchanted Garden of Lights; in
March, visit Shamrock City for an
Irish flair (and more beer!); and all
through the summer, they put on
Summer Music Weekends.
Whether you’re on a first date,
bringing the whole family, or have
been married for fifty years, there’s
something at Rock City for everyone!
Take my advice and wear comfortable
walking shoes during your visit.
