A new wine market and tasting room is headed to Chamblee. Deep Roots Wine Market and Tasting Room, a local business with existing locations in Roswell and Woodstock, is coming to 5348 Peachtree Road in Chamblee for their third location.
Founder Dana Gurela, a Georgia native, fell in love with wine on a trip to Napa in 2009 and spent five years in California working in sales for several wineries. She also attended the San Francisco Wine School where she obtained her California Wine Appellation Specialist® certification.
Gurela, along with her husband Todd returned to Atlanta in 2017 and opened the original Deep Roots Wine Market & Tasting Room on Canton Street in Downtown Roswell in 2018. The couple added a second location on Chambers Street in downtown Woodstock in 2023.
The new Chamblee location will open in a small strip center and replaces Fountain of Beauty Med Spa which most recently occupied the 1,760 square foot space. Notably, Deep Roots will be located between Himalayas Indian Restaurant and ZenTea Co.
Hale, currently Managing Broker at Hale Atlanta Brokers, a position she has held for 20 years, was announced as the company's first franchisee this past April but only recently were plans for the space put out to bid for construction to commence.
"I am so excited to bring Deep Roots to Chamblee! As resident of the Brookhaven/Chamblee community for the last 8 years, I’ve watched the Chamblee entertainment district explode, and there are so many more great things coming to the area. I’ve been an entrepreneur since my 20’s, and this new venture is the most exciting yet. Combining my love of wine with my love of community is a dream come true. I am so looking forward to bringing the Deep Roots brand ITP!” Hale said of her decision to open her own Deep Roots.
According to Gurela, "The name Deep Roots recognizes the vines' struggle to survive in the vineyard and the connection to family here in Georgia."
Deep Roots Chamblee is expected to open this fall.
