We are often asked where the name “Kerith” comes from. Kerith House is named after Kerith Ravine, a place referenced in the Old Testament, where the prophet Elijah was instructed to go to find peace, rest, and nourishment. Page and Beth named their home Kerith House as it embodied the spirit and vision of what they wanted their family and home to be known for, a place of warm, generous, and authentic hospitality to all who entered.
The vision of Kerith House has since expanded to encompass a 124-acre mountain farm and winery estate located just east of Blue Ridge, Georgia, in the North Georgia mountains. Surrounded by splendid vineyards, woodlands, pastures, and breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountain views, the property continues to evolve as we develop more bespoke spaces for guests to stay, rest, explore, and connect.
Page and Beth Williams met in Ukraine many years ago while serving in Missions. Many of their fondest memories were hosting themed parties or game nights for both Ukrainian and expat friends. They would also spend many weekend hours watching VHS tapes of the popular PBS series, “This Old House”— a show dedicated to restoring historic homes. Since then, their love for all things home and hospitality has only grown.
Beth grew up in Greenfield, Indiana, and studied art in undergraduate and graduate schools. Her childhood home was known for having an open-door policy where folks would not only find good food and fellowship, but a spirit of generosity and encouragement. Beth loves working with her hands and creating beauty in everything she touches. Over the years, she has taught stage design, art, baking, music, and woodworking to students and adults alike.
Page grew up in Augusta, Georgia, and studied business and marketing in undergraduate and graduate schools. He was influenced by a family that designed and built custom luxury homes. Page loves to think strategically and is passionate about the details, especially when crafting guests’ experiences. Since 1991, Page has worked domestically and internationally in the restaurant and hospitality industry and consults for one of America’s largest and most loved restaurant brands.
Page and Beth have four children, two of whom were adopted from Ukraine. and all work various roles around the estate.

His immense knowledge, experience, and passion for winemaking will create a wine-tasting experience that all will enjoy.
