A Little Piece of France in Georgia: Chateau Elan Winery and Resort

Situated just 40 minutes north of Atlanta, the Chateau Elan Winery and Resort is a grand French-style Chateau surrounded by 3,500 acres of lush vineyards and rolling foothills. In this setting reminiscent of the Loire Valley, French elegance and Southern hospitality combine in a luxurious leisure resort. The resort boasts a full-production Winery (42,000 sq ft), and is the largest producer of premium wines in Georgia, recognized by Wine Spectator for its vintages. There are winery tours and tastings, along with a bistro and fine dining restaurant. The 33,000 sq ft Spa is renowned for its indulgent treatments and excellent facilities: beautiful flowering gardens, 14 private guest suites, fitness area, steam, sauna, whirlpool, and its very own fine dining room, Fleur-de-Lis, which serves seasonal gourmet dishes overlooking the lake. But perhaps the best part of all: the Spa offers guest accommodations (!) The 14 spa suites are comfortable and spacious, each individually designed with luxurious flair, from Country French to Victorian Wicker, High-Tech to the exotic Zimbabwe Suite. Overnight spa packages are available, which include use of the facilities, gourmet spa lunch, afternoon tea, and Winery Tour and Tastings.
