She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

Georgia has a rapidly growing wine industry that is growing in size and notoriety. There are quite a few scenic vineyards all throughout the state, particularly in the northeast region. One of our favorites is Chateau Elan Winery in Braselton. Not only is this one of the best-known wineries in the state, but it’s also one of the best luxury resorts in Georgia. This place is gorgeous, and whether you’re stopping by just for a brief tour or decide to stay a few days, you’re in for a real treat.
Braselton is a midsize town about 50 miles outside of Atlanta. The area is mostly known for its many distribution centers, but its gently rolling hills make the perfect setting for a winery.
Chateau Elan Winery spans 3,500 acres, and the massive size is used to its full extent. The winery is obviously the main draw, but there's also a hotel, multiple golf courses, and eight restaurants.
Stopping by to take a tour is a lovely experience. You'll learn all about the wine-making process, and get a chance to sample five different wines produced at the vineyard.
Even if you don't have the time to stay overnight, just stopping by for a tour is a delightful and unforgettable outing that makes for a great day trip.
You can find out more information about Chateau Elan Winery on the vineyard’s website.
