Whether you’re a moonshine drinker or not, it is important to recognize this crafted beverage as playing an important role in the history of the great state of Georgia. For those who think that the days of drinking moonshine are over, think again. While the production facility may not be hidden up in the hills of North Georgia anymore, this moonshine tasting room and distillery is exactly the place you want to spend a cold afternoon.
Editor’s Note: The Dawsonville Moonshine Distillery is temporarily closed and will reopen on October 23, 2020.
The Dawsonville Moonshine Distillery is a legal crafts distillery located smack dab in the middle of "The Moonshine Capital of the World."
What makes the Dawsonville Moonshine Distillery so fantastic is the fact that these recipes are as traditional as they can get—passed down from generation to generation for the past 150 years.
There aren’t too many places in Georgia where you can sidle up for a free tour of how the distillery works and enjoy a fun moonshine tasting to go with it.
Sampling the spirits is perhaps the most enjoyable part for all who are of age, whether it be sipping the White Lightning straight (good luck!) or having it mixed for a softer side.
