We enjoyed the Pinot Noir with a cheese and salami and crackers charcuterie. We also had music . Beautiful afternoon! We also bought a wine bottle candle which was a little different ; the bottle was cut sideways. The grounds for RVs was set up nicely with an oval circle for easy in and out. We were the only ones there! Wow! Our dogs were able to run around and enjoy off leash. That's always a plus! The only thing was that the grass was not cut , but we made it work. We did hear a large pack of coyotes in the middle of the night. Epic!

We knew right away we wanted a rustic wedding, speaking to both our childhoods. With my family from…read moreVirginia, my groom's family from Alabama, and our love of North Georgia, we zeroed in on several properties throughout this area. After visiting over five properties, all were either too rustic or too cookie cutter perfect. On our final site visit, we knew we had found THE place at Mountain Laurel Farm. The farm is located just inside the Chattahoochee National Forest which provides so many scenic views. Driving up, you're just taken away by the tranquil peace of the property. The barn itself is quite rustic, but it's so charming and still provides the basic necessities (restrooms, electricity). Although there is no climate control, we had no issue with the heat on our wedding date after opening all the doors and windows and adding a few household fans. I do wish there had been more resources in the catering room; I'm hoping Melody can make some upgrades there in the future (running water/industrial sink, ice machine, larger fridge/freezer). However, our caterer had no issues with making the catering area work for them. Melody, the property owner/manager, was incredibly easy to work with. She was so patient throughout the process, quickly answering all my questions and concerns. She has so much décor and so many props and furniture available at the barn, along with her linen rentals, you really only need to show up with your food and beverage. She had lots of good ideas about how to set-up the barn so that it would maximize space for our guests. We loved having access to the farmhouse for the wedding day. Although no one lodged there, it was a welcome place for me and my bridesmaids to finish getting ready, as well as a cool spot for our wedding party and us to rest after the ceremony and before photos. It was fun to look out onto the ceremony space before the ceremony and after and see all of our family and friends gathering for our special day. The property is located a short distance from a major interstate, and just off a main highway, with close access to resources (grocery store, entertainment and cultural activities, department chain stores). This was helpful to our friends and families, all traveling in from out of town. Most of our guests made a weekend of the trip, visiting Helen, wineries, water activities, and all the other things the area has to offer. There are many rental cabins close-by and we also held a block of hotel rooms in Helen which was convenient for our guests. If you are looking for a charming rustic location with wonderful amenities and breathtaking views, I highly recommend Mountain Laurel Farm for any wedding or social occasion!

My friends and I went to North GA to do some wine tastings and suggested we stop at Limoges Cellars…read morefor a tasting. This winery is about five years old and is owned by a couple who wanted to get into the winery business. The wine tasting room is gorgeous with nice high ceilings and a wine bar that extends the entire room. We decided to go with the wine tasting flight of 8 different wines. The bonus is you can bring in outside food to the winery to snack on while you enjoy your wine. The wines were very good overall, and my favorite was the Blanc de Pommes which is a sparkling wine. The Petite Verdot and the Three Graces were also very nice red wines. The Binous is a nice sparking rose wine as well. The winery has a beautiful view of the North GA mountains along with the vineyard itself. Limoges Cellars is pretty new in North Georgia, but definitely has a lasting impact on their wine and location. I ended up purchasing a bottle of the Blanc de Pommes because it was so good and peaked my interest right away. I enjoyed this winery and its ambiance and would definitely come back here for a wine tasting if I am back in GA for a visit. It is a wonderful experience and people should take advantage of this winery and its tastings.

The final (and perhaps the most awesome) stop on our wine tour was here at Sylvan. We stuck to the…read moredrinking areas and skipped the tour of the lodge. A bunch of folks did that because they were planning to host an event or some such. I did hear great things about the lodge. As for the drinking, we did get a special pour of the Twisted, which may or may not have been in their usual tasting menu. Sitting outside by the gas fire pits and watching the changed leaves fall to the ground is fabulous. Doing so with a tasty glass of poetry and wearing toasty clothing made it even better. Very cool, very relaxed, and pretty far away from the craziness of day-to-day life. We enjoyed our time at Sylvan Valley. [Review 18924 overall - 562 in Georgia - 2447 of 2022.]

In the future Sylvan Valley lodge will feature a tapas menu, live music and group event Specialty catering.

Our venue was fairly remote (Blairsville, North Georgia), with a limited selection of vendors. We found Jitterbug online, and ordered an arbor, 60 fruitwood padded folding chairs, and a backup speaker system for the band. We also ordered chair setup and teardown (with delivery the day before the wedding and pickup the day after). The guys were friendly, showed up early, and worked fast. I'm not sure what the deal is with the negative reviews on here, because I, at least, had an excellent experience working with Jitterbug. I highly recommend and will be using them again the next time we're in Blairsville.

So Kaya has been on my list for a while for wineries to try. I've done others in the area but not…read moreKaya. In order to make my visit worthwhile, I decided to participate in the wine blending experience. Please note that this has to be booked ahead of time for them to prepare the items you need for the experience. When I entered the reception area of the winery I was greeted by who I know now is one of the owners which was a pleasant surprise. You get escorted down to the basement where the barrels and other items used in the winemaking process are stored. Imagine my excitement when I noticed the blending set up looked like a chemistry lab. The STEM girlie in me couldn't have been more excited! You are given some background on the history of the type of wines available and how certain blends are made. Once that is done, you are guided through blending your own wine; using 3 types of blends that are made on site at Kaya. The blends are red wines so if you prefer white blends this experience may not be for you. Once you complete your blend you seal it and label it and voila! Your own personalized wine. This experience was amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to come back to try it again. Nick was a top tier teacher for this experience!

I went on a winery tour here and it was pretty good. They were very professional and knew a lot…read moreabout the craft. It wasn't like the tour itself but actually got to make some bottles to take home of the wine. That in itself was worth it! So first things first you'll get there and you'll come into the lounge or cabin area and there are a couple of different spots you can go to. There is actually a spot for members only from what it looks like but there is a general spot and then there is a whole outdoor area like a patio. They have another outdoor area that is on the side of the building that you get the best view of the greenery and that's pretty amazing. It's a really nice view. If you're hungry, they have some small bites for you so don't feel like you have to drink and then not eat. Just in case you're wondering, they will have finger foods for you. It's nothing major but it's like dip or something along those lines so don't expect steaks. For the bottling you will go down to the basement where they have all the barrels (Nick was awesome and took care of everyone there). You will get to try a couple of different wines and mix those together to find a specific one that you like. At the end they will help you bottle it and cork it and then you will take it home. Overall if you haven't done any of the winery things in this part of Georgia, it would be a good place to start. Especially because there's so many in this area that you can do several in one day.
