The Arabia Mountain Vineyard Experience
We came to Arabia Mountain Vineyard to learn about wine and left thinking about rest, family, and ownership. On a private tour with Hakemia Jackson, we explored the vines and creek and discovered a South DeKalb destination designed to help people slow down and connect.

About This Short
We recently visited Arabia Mountain Vineyard expecting to see grapes and learn only about wine. But what we left with was a feeling of peace and a lesson on what makes this vineyard so special.
Chief Experience Officer Hakemia Jackson is so full of life and gave us a wonderful private tour. From the vines to the creek, we discovered a family-run place designed for people to slow down, connect, and take in the beauty around them.
The family also shared what it means to own a Black-owned vineyard in an industry where fewer than 1% of U.S. wineries are Black-owned. Their story is about more than a beautiful destination. It is about family, ownership, and creating something meaningful right here in South DeKalb.
Arabia Mountain Vineyard is a weekend day trip more Atlantans should experience for themselves.
Hear the full story in our next episode of This Is Atlanta: South DeKalb Edition, coming the first week of October.
