Get into the Spirit

Shopping for someone who enjoys a good pour? Copperhill Brewery serves up more than just top-notch whiskey, vodka, and rum – they pour history into every bottle. Distilled with locally sourced ingredients to produce high quality sips and a tale to tell - The 1843, inspired by the start of mining in Copper Hill. The 221, celebrating the fastest whitewater rafting time during the Olympics on the Ocoee River. The Notorious 397, a nod to Al Capone’s booking number and the infamous ‘shine runs between Ducktown, TN and Chicago. Stop by and grab a bottle and hear the legends firsthand!

For those who prefer wine to whiskey, Blue Ridge has no shortage of options for the pour-fect bottle of wine. Out of the Blue, Georgia Wine Depot and 34th Degree Wine Merchant each offer an incredible selection of premium and boutique wines - from timeless classics to bottles bursting with personality (hello, fun and quirky labels!). Not sure which to choose? A gift card is always a thoughtful option, letting the recipient explore tasting events, wine workshops, food pairing classes, or festive holiday nights. Take it one step further - pair that gift with a vineyard experience they can enjoy later, where they can unwind with a glass of wine and soak in those unforgettable mountain views.
