Tasting success at Qualusi Vineyards

Hidden amid suburban growth near Cobb Parkway, a multigenerational family farm took an unexpected turn toward winemaking. Facing financing challenges despite decades of agricultural experience, the Gilberts transformed part of their 500-acre property into Qualusi Vineyards with help from the UGA SBDC. The result is a thriving vineyard and event space that has quickly exceeded expectations and become a regional destination.
