Just 40 minutes north of Atlanta, Château Élan Winery & Resort blends Old-World romance with easygoing Southern charm—vineyard views, award-winning wines, a world-class spa, and 45 holes of championship golf spread across 3,500 rolling acres. It’s the kind of place where late-afternoon light hits the vines just right, dinners linger under a glass-topped atrium, and mornings start with a quiet walk to the tasting room.
This season, Château Élan is pouring on the inspiration with three new packages designed for different styles of getaway—harvest-season dreamers, culinary couples, and spa-day seekers. Here’s what to book now.
1) The Harvest Retreat (Limited-Time Fall Experience)
Immerse yourself in wine country at the most magical time of year: harvest. This limited-run package (travel Sept 25–Oct 31) includes luxe overnight accommodations, a beautifully packaged harvesting kit (gloves, pruners, bucket), a personal note from the Winemaker, and a voucher to enjoy one of the estate’s signature Muscadine wines. It’s hands-on, heartfelt, and perfectly seasonal. Booking window runs through Oct 30.
Why you’ll love it: authentic connection to the vineyard during peak season—plus a keepsake kit you’ll actually use again.
2) Harvest Pours (Wine & Dine Made Easy)
Prefer your harvest weekend with more tasting and less trimming? Opt for Harvest Pours, which pairs an overnight stay with a $100 dining credit and a bottle from the Château Élan Reserve Collection (red or white). Think crisp evenings, golden leaves, and a ready-made plan for dinner at Versailles, Marc, or one of the resort’s other restaurants. (Pro tip: reservations recommended.)
Why you’ll love it: a perfect “no-planning” food-and-wine escape with built-in value and flexibility.
3) The Vintage Season Hideaway (Your Do-Everything Signature Escape)
Consider this the resort’s signature, do-it-all getaway. The Vintage Season Hideaway bundles overnight accommodations for two with a $100 resort-wide dining credit, $120 toward golf or racquet sports, a $250 spa treatment credit, a bottle from the Reserve Collection, and complimentary overnight valet parking. Book two nights and the credits double. Spa gratuity is included (spa tax excluded).
Why you’ll love it: one booking, every vibe—spa, sport, and slow-sipping luxury.
Make It a Long Weekend: What to Do Between Sips
- Winery tours & tastings: Go behind the scenes with guided tastings (yes, cheese pairings are a thing), then linger in the Tasting Room with a glass—or a flight—of award-winners. Advance reservations recommended.
- Spa day serenity: Book facials, massages, nail services, or fitness classes at the tranquil Spa at Château Élan—an oasis with its own dining room and boutique.
- Golf & racquet play: With 45 holes of championship golf and a full racquet program, you can dial the activity up as much as you like—then toast the round at Sarazen’s Bar & Grille.
- Atrium dining at Versailles: Set beneath a striking glass roof and sculptural lighting, Versailles delivers elevated American classics in one of the Southeast’s most dramatic dining rooms.
Getting There
Château Élan sits in Braselton, Georgia (100 Rue Charlemagne Drive), an easy drive from Atlanta on I-85—close enough for a quick escape, far enough to exhale.
