    Trash on table.
    Al J.

    The winery has a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Some staff members are incredibly friendly, while others are quite rude. When we pre-booked the wine tasting, which included six different wines, we were surprised to find that we had to wait in a line for each tasting. The setting was also limited, and I noticed a table with food and trash left on it. After waiting for 20 minutes without anyone cleaning the table, I went to find a staff member. She informed me that she was too busy and I was told very rudely to find someone else. The wines are very good and they have a great selection. I would suggest that they train their staff some custom service skills.

    Amazing is an understatement. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. The exterior is beautiful and would be perfect to bring out of towners, the interior was elegant on the dinner side and a little less elegant, but comfortable, where there was wine service. Grabbed light bites that paired well with wines, but the shrimp dish ordered took almost 40 min to arrive.

    My friends and I went to Chateau Elan winery tour to enjoy the behind the scenes tour and wine tasting. It was easy to call and submit payment by phone. We decided to take the Saturday tour at 3:00 pm. We checked in about 10 minutes before the start of tour and our guide was Tre. He was absolutely fantastic. He took us outdoors to the vineyards and told us the history of the property as well as the types of grapes grown on property. We had time to ask questions and snap photos too. Tre lead us indoors to the processing room and we learned even more about how the wines were made. Finally, Tre set up the tastings and described the notes, what kinds of foods to pair with each wine and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend this tour for couples and groups. We look forward to returning for Vineyard Fest in August.

    Really nice winery and hotel. Had a wonderful time. Was there for a beautiful wedding weekend and everything was wonderful. The service, the food, the amenities. Top notch! I highly recommended having any event there or jus for a nice getaway.

    We had dreamed of visiting Château Élan for years. It was supposed to be a luxurious, unforgettable getaway. Instead, it became one of the most disappointing experiences we've ever had. We started with dinner at the Versailles restaurant. The scallops were mediocre, the short rib was served cold (twice even though the plate was hot), the lobster was rubbery and stuck to the shell, and the steak arrived severely undercooked after we had to ask about the temperature ourselves. The mashed potatoes were oddly crunchy. The only enjoyable part of the meal was dessert. For a $500 dinner, this was unacceptable. It tasted like reheated leftovers under a heat lamp. The spa experience was just as frustrating. We were given a $250 spa credit that we couldn't even use because everything was fully booked. Offering a credit that can't realistically be redeemed makes no sense. Afternoon tea somehow made things worse. We were greeted with, "Are you guys here for the tea?" and then told we "weren't supposed to book this" because their "tea lady wasn't here" even though their website listed multiple available time slots. It felt like we were being blamed for their lack of preparation. I had clearly noted a hibiscus allergy in the reservation. When we arrived, we were informed that about half of the teas contained hibiscus, leaving only a few options like bourbon, chamomile, and a mint blend. No one proactively addressed the allergy ahead of time. Manager Dereck told us he would be "right back" to confirm which teas were safe, disappeared for 10 minutes, returned briefly, then left again for another 10 minutes. Our 3:00 PM reservation didn't result in actual tea service until 4:00 PM. We essentially lost an entire afternoon waiting. The finger sandwiches and pastries tasted stale as if they had been made days earlier and refrigerated. Then came the rooms. The first room had a group outside being extremely loud. We requested a switch and moved to a new room. After settling in for about 30 minutes, we went into the bathroom and found droplets and smears of blood on the floor. That was the breaking point. It was disgusting and completely unacceptable for a resort that promotes luxury standards. Management apologized repeatedly, but the apologies felt forced rather than genuine. At that point, we packed up and drove home at 9:45 PM, an hour and a half away because staying felt worse than leaving. The only bright spot in this entire experience was Jefferson, the valet. He was kind, warm, and professional the only staff member who made us feel welcome. Overall, this was heartbreaking. We had looked forward to this trip for years, and instead left feeling overcharged, unheard, and deeply disappointed. For the prices they charge and the reputation they promote, this experience fell far below expectations.

    My best friend went on an 8 location winery and THIS was the only winery she wanted to revisit!!!! Since we're visiting from The Bay Area of California, we wanted to see what wineries Georgia had to offer. Turns out, Georgia can only grow this particular sweet grape for moscatos. All of their wines were from Napa, California! Hahaha no wonder my best from LOVED this place! They have a GREAT deal on a tasting of 6 wines for a fox price! We loved 2 of the wines so much, we got the bottles. (I'll add what we bought later). The service was GREAT! Each employee knew about the wine's origins and well as their notes and things to pair each wine with. The environment was very spacious, but come early- if you want a place to sit! Around 5p all the booths were taken and people were left with standing room only! I would definitely recommend this place to come back!

    Fantastic place to make a day trip or even stay the night. They've got an Irish pub on the property for simple comforting meals and a bar/ lounge on the inside of the hotel for a more upscale experience. If you need a pick me up, they've got their own coffee shop as well! There are plenty of spots on the property to lounge about and enjoy the weather and a place where you can buy a bottle of wine and peruse the area as well. Great for groups or even a romantic getaway date. My partner and I took it more as a build your own experience, but the staff are friendly enough to point you in the right direction. Next time, I'm planning to book and stay at the resort for maximum relaxation.

    Definitely more of a laid back winery setting. This property is beautiful! We visited in the beginning of November and the weather was beautiful which made our day super enjoyable. They do winery tastings so you can try multiple pours, or just sell wine by the bottle or glass. The wine selection is good and definitely has something for everyone. The servers are VERY knowledgeable and had tons of information to offer about each kind of wine and are super friendly. Definitely worth the trip if you're in the area and the weather is nice. They also have indoor seating if you are not as lucky with the weather. As a first time visitor I would have appreciated a little more direction when I first arrived we kind of had to ask questions to figure out what the deal was!

    Q= BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER!! Stopped by for a Day Tour and tasting. Beautiful property. It's good value for what you pay. Wines are delicious & reasonably priced, plus there's lots of dining areas. Would love to stay in the future and experience the spa and other amenities. Grabbed lunch at the Irish pub- overall 4/5 Wings - 4/5 buffalo and lemon pepper Pretzels 5/5 Burger and side salad (made as cobb w/blue cheese). 4/5 Very solid meal. Would definitely return for any of these quick bites.

    Want to take someone on a dare and di jot know where? Do you want to impress? This is your place! Chateau Elan has a cooking class night and it is amazing! The chef and the sommelier are a great host. You get to talk with your date or other people, funny chef, easy going and very good light dinners. The wine that is paired with is amazing and they enhance the flavor of the food. Tonight we had crab cakes and pickled cole slaw. Paired with bubbly wine and Nancy. The entree was lobster with blanched veggies in orzo. Paired with Sauvignon Blanc For dessert we had pound cake with rubat mascarpone cream. Chocolate , strawberry jam and raspberry with a sangria. If you need a date night that you don't have to do much, this is your place and they also have other classes.

    We had such a great time on the tour and tasting. The grounds are gorgeous and the wines are delicious! Our guide (Q) was so knowledgeable and friendly. He really made our experience what it was!

    Came here for a wedding so admittedly I didn't have a lot of time to explore all of the amenities of the hotel. I arrived Friday evening and left Sunday morning so it was a quick stay. We did really enjoy the rooms -- they were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff was also very friendly. We checked out the sports bar a couple nights and it was a lot of fun, especially with the DJ.

    Château Élan is absolutely beautiful, with plenty to do and explore. My friends and I love coming here for lunch--the ambiance is stunning both inside and out. The servers are all very polite and make the experience good. Their Muscat wine is a must-try--so delicious!

Rustic, charming, hand built tasting room with a sweet relaxation patio to take in the views and sip on some wine. Matt, one of the owners, was a great host, filling us in with the history of SAF, and his vision for the place. I really hope he and his family are successful. It's off the beaten path, but worth the visit. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is I'm not that big a fan of fruit/sweet wines, which is what they are known for. But, I will say that SAF offers many wines that appeased a moderate level of sweetness I can enjoy (I think there were 4 or 5 really sweet ones out of the 20 or so you could choose from). The Rosé Muscadine was something I could see myself enjoying on a hot afternoon by the pool, so bought a bottle. I also was pleasantly surprised by the Lemon Strawberry wine. They have tasting room in Helen also, but you won't get the same experience as the Alto location.

You'll come in after you park and then go straight to the building and there's a huge bar top area but there's a dining room area all around so you probably can rip this space out because there's plenty of seating. I was trying to do the flight so that I could get a full taste of what they have and they have multiple options. A lot of them are reds though, so just keep that in mind. If you don't like the dry reds, you may want to check for something else but they do have plenty of options. What I liked about this one was that the flight that I ordered was actually a full glass of wine and not small tastings. I got a full perspective of what it would look like to have a full glass. Just know that the wine will get you there lol. It's okay. Three glasses of wine over a good view, you can't beat that. They have an indoor, like I mentioned, but everybody was actually sitting outdoors on the patio area. The patio area was covering the view of all the greenery and all the vines and the backdrop of being in nature. It is a really good view. Everybody there was super cool and very helpful when we talked to them about that and they gave good explanations to the specific whys because if you don't know, you don't know. You check the pictures and you know what I mean but it's a really good view so I would definitely give this a shot!

Although the setting is admittedly spectacular, acres of hilly vineyards with views of the mountain behind, and the patio was certainly fancy, the tables each with fire pits in the center providing cheery warmth, the tasting experience itself was sub-par and overpriced. It lacked the authentic feel I've seen in other wineries and seems more of a tourist destination. First thing I noticed is the shockingly high tasting fee of $35 for a flight of 4 2-ounce pours of their choice. No substitutions allowed! Either these are some spectacularly great wines or this is a major rip-off. I passed. But since I was here I decided to have a glass. I got one of their estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. It was around $16 but since I was here. It was good, but certainly not worth the $48 they charge for a bottle. For the $35 do you get individual attention, descriptions from the bartender about the wines and about their winery? No. You get 4 labeled glasses to take back to your table. Not worth it. Find another place less touristy, more authentic. That shouldn't be hard. There are like 65 wineries in the area!
