About Us

After purchasing nearly 200 acres of former farmland in 2005, Bob and Jane Miller started their journey in the wine industry. Their vision is to be a boutique vineyard and winery that produces world-class wine to be served alongside any of the best wines from around the world. Strong family values are the foundation of Yonah Mountain Vineyards. Bob and Jane’s dream is for their children and grandchildren to share in this family business.

Born and raised in Australia, Tristen Vanhoff relocated to Atlanta in 2010 after earning degrees in enology (the science and study of wine and winemaking) and viticulture, the agricultural of vine-growing and of grape-harvesting. As the winemaker for Yonah Mountain Vineyards, Tristen brings a passion to wine making that pushes him to strive for the best in all that he does. Tristan shares the Miller's vision for Yonah Mountain Vineyards as having a reputation for making only the very best wines.

Justin DePascale is the Tasting Room Manager at Yonah Mountain Vineyards. With nine years at Yonah and 15 years in the North Georgia wine industry, he brings a wealth of experience and passion to his role.

Justin's journey in wine began as a tasting room employee while studying at the University of North Georgia. Since then, he has worked in nearly every facet of the industry—from assisting in winemaking and catering operations to managing internal events and tasting room logistics. Simply put, he's done it all!

His favorite Yonah Mountain Vineyards wine is the 2010 Totem, and one of his most cherished memories is watching the 2017 total solar eclipse at the vineyard alongside hundreds of guests.

Outside of work, Justin enjoys expanding his wine knowledge and spending quality time at home with his wife and their three young boys.

Jorge has been in the vineyard business since December 2012 and became our Vineyard Manager in 2018. His previous work in the Yonah Mountain winery gives him a unique perspective when inspecting and managing the vines. Jorge's year-round work includes planting and training new vines, managing vineyard disease, cultivating, thinning, irrigation, harvesting, pruning, and frost protection.
