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 20 varieties at Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge and shop for treats from hard cider to apple doughnuts. 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 family-friendly arts-and-crafts activities, a parade and, of course, a bounty of apple-y treats each October. U-pick options abound at nearby orchards during the festival. Finally, experience classic autumn at the historical Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta with a guided fall tree walk, a rotating variety of spooky seasonal activities or the Capturing the Spirit of Oakland Halloween Tour (book in advance). This special Halloween-season destination always seems to have something new and spine chilling to offer. STONE MOUNTAIN PUMPKIN FESTIVAL/STONE MOUNTAIN PARK EXPLOREGEORGIA.ORG 47
