GeorGia SeaSonS Celebrate harvest season with a trip to Georgia’s burgeoning wine country. Sip award-winning blanc de blancs brut at Wolf Mountain Vineyards in Dahlonega, taste the beloved Scarlett blend at Habersham Winery & Vineyards in Helen, and let the team at Fainting Goat Vineyards & Winery in Jasper pack you a gourmet picnic accompanied by a bottle of vino. Or, take a tour of the only known wine cave in Georgia at Yonah Mountain Vineyards in Cleveland. Don’t feel like organizing tour stops or designating a driver? Pop the Cork Wine Tours can take care of all the details. Autumn in Georgia isn’t complete without indulging in apple-flavored goodies. Pick your own from more than 50 varieties at Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge and shop for treats from hard cider to apple donuts. Don’t miss a visit to the state’s self-proclaimed Apple Capital, Ellijay, where B.J. Reece Orchards and Red Apple Barn stand ready to satisfy your apple cravings. The Georgia Apple Festival in Ellijay celebrates the almighty apple with u-pick opportunities, a parade and, of course, a bounty of apple-y treats each October. Finally, experience quintessential autumn with a guided fall tree walk, the Run Like Hell 5K or the Spirit of Oakland Halloween Tour (book in advance) at the historical Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta.
