Frogtown Winery
The Frogtown winery is specifically designed to produce high quality wine from Frogtown grapes and, at the same time, to make the most of our rolling terrain. Constructed on a hillside overlooking the vineyards, the Frogtown winery is an underground, tri-level, gravity-flow wine making facility. Using gravity in place of pumps allows for gentle vinification and treatment of our grape must, juice and wine from start to finish. In addition, the special design of the winery gives us tremendous flexibility in making our wines. We are able to treat every wine grape in an individual manner and develop a style of wines that is uniquely Frogtown.
Frogtown Vineyard
Frogtown encompasses 32 acres of vineyards on the rolling hills of the Dahlonega Plateau in Lumpkin County, Georgia. We have planted 15 different varieties of grapes. The red varieties include: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, Tannat, Touriga, and Norton. The white varieties include: Chardonnay, Viognier, Marsanne, Rousanne, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Vidal, and Seyval. The elevation of our vineyards extend from 1675 to 1825 feet above sea level. Much care has gone into deciding exactly where to plant each variety in our vineyards. In total 18,000 grape vines capable of producing up to 180 tons of premium wine grapes are planted.
Our History
In 1998, native Atlantans Craig and Cydney Kritzer founded Frogtown in a location carefully selected for quality wine grape production and outstanding mountain views, the Frogtown District of Lumpkin County, Georgia. Frogtown produces wines under the 'Frogtown' label and the 'Thirteenth Colony' label.
