If you’re looking for a quick getaway and an absolutely luxurious experience, you definitely need to check out Chateau Elan !   Located just over an hour north of Atlanta, this place is truly an escape to an amazing wine country.  

Upon arriving, all I saw were lush green rolling hills of vineyards loaded with ripe grapes against the backdrop of the winery estate and the lodging inn.  Since wine tastings and tours are offered throughout the week, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

The winery is a beautifully decorated space with ample seating for small and larger groups.  The service was exceptional; I received additional information and the background story to each of the wines I tasted. 

During the wine cellar tour, the guide gave a detailed history lesson on how the Chateau Elan became such a coveted piece of property nestled in north Georgia.  If you’re up for an overnight stay, the rooms are equally luxurious in décor and layout.  You can even enjoy a hot stone massage in one of the spa rooms. 

I had a great time and cannot wait to go back!!
