City Guides Do Visit the new Ellijay River location of Cartecay Bike Shop Brewery , a cyclist’s dream boasting its very own suds. Then, head to woodsy Mulberry Gap , an adventure base camp boasting singletrack, gravel, and road routes. Just 4 miles from downtown Ellijay is Roo Mountain Vineyards , where you can sip fragrant reds and hard ciders after a long day at play. There are nearly 10 wineries within 30 minutes of Ellijay, among them Cartecay and Engelheim vineyards. More of a fine-spirits lover? Head to Ellijay’s new House of Applejay distillery for artisanal cocktails infused with local liqueurs in flavors like winter cherry and juniper. For those who come for the apples, pick your own or grab a bag (and a cider donut) at one of a number of nearby apple houses, including R & A Orchards and Hillcrest Orchards . EXPLOREGEORGIA.ORG 107
