Get Swept Away

Even though the Lovers’ holiday is behind us, we still have some cold weather ahead and what’s more fun than a romantic getaway?
Here in Georgia we are surprisingly close to many neighboring small towns, vineyards, mountains and farms that offer a lot of different ways to embrace this season and these are some of our favorites amongst our adore stylists.
Serenbe
One of our most beloved places on Earth! Nicknamed The Eco Utopia, the quality of life in this community far surpasses many around the world. Serenbe offers anything you could dream or imagine for a weekend getaway. From cooking classes (right off the farm according to Garden & Gun magazine), to wine and cheese tastings, to hiking and farm tours to live theater and workshops. A feeling of serenity is easy to embrace in this beautiful community.
Barnsly Resort
An absolute storybook setting for an epic adventure, this southern estate is rich in history and soul. This spot is perfect for those who wish to spend their experience, with family, friends, or dogs! Trip adviser named Barnsly Resort the “Best Dog Friendly Resort in the Southeast U.S”. Start your day with a brisk ride on horseback while the mist clears off the lake. Challenge your spouse to some spirited croquet and consider a wager on the winner. Try your hand at rod and reel or claim your place in the sun at the pool pavilion. By days end, you’ll be happily astounded that doing so much–or so very little–consumed the entire day. All of us here at adore love the breathtaking rental cottages!
Wolf Mountain Vineyards
Overlooking the foothills of the Southern Appalachian Mountains this vineyard is the perfect setting to sample some of the best hand crafted, award winning wines. With over 200 medals in Major U.S. Competitions, including Georgia’s First ever Gold medals at the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle and Los Angeles International Wine Competitions, along with multiple Best of Category Awards, Wolf Mountain has established itself as a leader in fine wine production on the East Coast. Wolf Mountain Vineyards is also known for their elaborate brunches and lunches. This getaway has the potential to be short and sweet if driving up from Atlanta. Reservations are recommended for brunch.

The Ritz Carlton at Lake Oconee

A stay at one of the most rustically elegant lake resorts in Georgia opens the door to spectacular golf, a relaxing day of boating on Lake Oconee. This getaway is perfect for those who need a romantic getaway, but want to take their kiddos. The breathtaking lake views, lakeside dining and the complimentary nightly s’mores are some of our favorites with this resort.
