Nottely River Valley to Valley River Vineyards - Wine Tour Leg 5 This scenic 10.2-mile motorcycle route connects two distinctive North Georgia wineries through some of the region's most beautiful lake and mountain terrain. Starting from Nottely River Valley Vineyards LLC (1150), the journey takes you eastward to Valley River Vineyards (4689 Martins Creek) via the recommended Hedden Road route. The ride showcases the best of Union County's diverse landscape, winding through the Nottely River Valley region with its expansive lake views before transitioning into the more intimate mountain terrain around Martins Creek. Google Maps shows three route options, but the Hedden Road route (16 minutes, 10.2 miles) offers the most scenic and motorcycle-friendly experience. You'll pass through areas like Culberson and enjoy views of the surrounding North Georgia mountains. The route provides excellent riding with a mix of gentle curves and technical sections, perfectly suited for sport touring motorcycles. The terrain transitions beautifully from the open lake country around Nottely River Valley to the more secluded mountain setting where Valley River Vineyards is nestled. This leg offers riders a perfect balance of scenic beauty and engaging riding, connecting two unique winery experiences while showcasing the geographic diversity that makes North Georgia such prime motorcycle touring territory. The relatively short distance makes it ideal for leisurely wine tasting at both locations while still delivering an authentic mountain riding experience.
