After purchasing the Lumpkin County property in 1995, Sharon and Doug Paul began nearly a year of site planning for the new vineyard. The farm's name is inspired by the beautiful view of Lumpkin County's Three Sisters Mountain to the west. Three Sisters Vineyards, Inc. was incorporated the following summer on July 19, 1996 to cultivate the growth and production of wine grapes. Sharon Paul's brother Ken VanDusen joined the family business in October 1996 as the Vineyard Operations Manager. The Winery began operations in August of 2000. The Tasting Room opened September of 2001. Eighteen acres of grapes thrive on our mountainside property.
Situated on 184 acres between the historic mountain villages of Dahlonega and Cleveland/Helen, Lumpkin County's first vineyard, Three Sister, holds the historic distinction of being "Dahlonega's First Family Farm Winery" and Dahlonega-Lumpkin County's Founding Winegrower.
