Besides sipping on some great wine, what else can you do at Nutwood Winery? With two incredible locations in LaGrange, Georgia, your visit can easily transform into a memorable getaway! Here’s a list of activities to help you explore all that Nutwood has to offer.
Learn Nutwood’s History
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, elegant Nutwood was built in 1833 by architect Collin Rodgers. He was known for his Federal and more formal Greek Revival style with its stately, four-column porticos that helped to define southern architecture. Rodgers also left his signature behind – a trademark medallion bird you can find on the Ionic column above the entrance. The grandeur of this historic property is the perfect backdrop to begin your Nutwood adventure.
2: Sample Farm Goodies
As a proud “Georgia Grown” member and designated agritourism destination, Nutwood grows much more than grapes. Sample fresh blueberries, blackberries, figs, heirloom tomatoes, and pecans – all grown on-site. Bring a taste of Nutwood home with these farm-to-table treasures.
3: Eat Well
Believe it or not, you could go to Nutwood Winery just for the food. There’s a full menu of delicious, Southern-inspired favorites plus homemade bread, Amish cheeses and a variety of desserts. The specialty ice cream bar is a hit with all ages.
For an equally indulgent dining experience, head to Nutwood Winery Restaurant & Wine Bar, located in the heart of downtown LaGrange. This sophisticated yet inviting spot features New American Southern cuisine crafted with locally-sourced ingredients. Pair your meal with one of Nutwood’s hand-crafted wines for a culinary experience that perfectly reflects the region’s flavor and hospitality. Whether you’re enjoying dinner after a day at the winery or starting your evening with a leisurely meal, the downtown location is a must-visit.
4: Get Active
At the vineyard, enjoy outdoor games like giant lawn chess, cornhole, 10-hole disc golf, or yoga in the vines. It’s a great way to unwind while taking in the scenic beauty of the property. Even just a leisurely stroll around the vineyard is a great way to get some fresh air and a little exercise.
