If you’re a fan of wine, a trip to Cherokee Cellars Winery is an absolute must. For just $5, you can sample five different award winning wines. It’s hard to beat that price! All of the wines are made from grapes grown at local vineyards in the North Carolina and Georgia area, and all of the winemaking, blending, and bottling is done on site at Cherokee Cellars. Located right in downtown Murphy, this winery is also a great place to pick up gifts for your friends and family back home.
