Knowing which wine to accompany your meal is second-nature at Grapes & Hops Bar & Bistro. You’ll notice this immediately upon opening the menu. It illustrates & recommends the most appropriate wine for each of the numerous plates offered. For example, let’s say you choose Chef Timmy Lee’s famous Crab & Lobster Bisque. This exquisite soup places lobster claw meat as a garnish over a mixture of blue crab meat in a sherry coconut cream base. Grapes & Hops recommends a medium or full bodied white wine to perfectly complement this dish.

Our Flowery Branch restaurant is located near the Falcon’s training camp, by exit 12 off of highway 985. We opened our doors in 2004, and in 2005 Michelle Schreck and Bernd Koerner, became the new proprietors. Michelle is a professional wine consultant who pairs wine with the seasonal menus prepared by Chef Timmy Lee. Michelle belongs to the Wine & Spirits Educational Trust, conducts classes in the fine art of wine, and judges wine tasting events. Grapes & Hops offers over 60 wines by the glass as well as our unique wine flights, and also over 20 different beers from all around the world!

Timmy B. Lee is an inventive chef, educated at the Art Institute of Atlanta. He brings international influences to the American food served here, which includes many seafood & beef selections. You will enjoy wild game here as well, such as venison, pheasant, ostrich and duck. Grapes & Hops is a beautiful place to eat with fine linen on the tables and the quaintness of natural brick wall surroundings. We entertain monthly wine tastings, special champagne tastings, beer tastings, along with wine dinners & wine classes. You’ll find live music on the patio in the summer and a live pianist inside on the weekends as well. We encourage reservations for all parties, especially those larger than four individuals. Michelle and Bernd would like to invite you to experience the difference in the pleasant atmosphere of Grapes & Hops Bar & Bistro tonight.
