Our white muscadine wines here at Paulk Vineyards are named for significant women in our family. With Mother’s Day coming up, we thought it would be appropriate to share some interesting pictures and stories of these incredible mothers.

Strawberry season may be far behind us, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the sweet taste of Paulk Vineyards strawberries! Our sweet strawberry wine, Satilla Road, makes a nice pairing with desserts, particularly chocolate or pound cake with whipped cream, nuts, creamy cheeses like Brie, grilled chicken, and salads.

For this upcoming holiday weekend, we’re celebrating with Very Berry Sangria which uses all three of our berry wines: Satilla Road Strawberry, County Line Road Blackberry, and Highway 32 Blueberry.

Paulk Vineyards wishes you a “berry” happy Fourth of July!

When the weather starts to warm up and feel like summertime, folks start to celebrate with backyard barbecues, porch parties, and trips to the lake or beach. Everyone seems ready to relax and kick back a little in the evenings and on weekends. And, what better way to do that than with a pitcher of sangria…

Spring has certainly sprung here in south Georgia! Sunshine and warmer temperatures beg everyone outdoors, only to find everything covered in a fine, yellow dust…

For 50 years now, the Paulk family has been a pillar in the muscadine industry, thanks in large part to Papa Jacob, who planted his first muscadine vine in 1970. His sons, Gary and JW, Jr., continue the legacy of growing and selling fresh muscadines…

Juliette’s full given name was Gladys Juliette Handley, but in grade school she decided to change her name. Apparently, some of the boys in her class called her “Happy Bottom” as their interpretation of Gladys…
