Garden & Gun magazine released the winners of their 2017 Made in the South Awards – an annual curation of the best handmade products from Southern companies in five categories: home, food, drink, craft, style + outdoors.

Here are our favorites from each category:

Outdoors

Colter Atelier | Sappel & Ash CA Boards | $2,500 | Please don’t take these to a crowded tailgate. 🙏 This handcrafted set is as luxurious as bag toss can get.

Drinks

Urban Tree Cidery | Classic Cider | 3 pack for $39 | This cider is the perfect balance of sour + sweet. The price looks daunting, but each is the size of a wine bottle (750ml) – so drink up.
