This is a relatively quick hike. The very end is steep, but man are the views worth it! Pack a picnic, plop down on the rock and soak up the views and the company.

The Dahlonega Plateau in northern Georgia was recognized as a viticultural area, which means its unique soil quality, sun exposure, and climate make it extra special for growing wine.  Visit the first lady in the game that started it all.  This is also a great first stop and they have live music most weekends.

Frogtown Winery may not sound like the most romantic winery, but I think that this is THE most romantic setting of all the wineries. I like the vibe of their building's interior, the porch, the views and the staff.

Fudge Factory is an institution. Buy gifts for everyone you know here. I still get requests from family members to send holiday treats from Fudge Factory. It's also fun to visit because you can watch them make their confections.
