The Scene
Tycoon Donald Panoz opened this elegant French-style chateau in 1985. With its flourishing 200-acre vineyard of vitis vinifera grapes and French-American hybrids, it's become Georgia's premier winery. But it's also a thriving weekend respite, with a 276-room inn and conference center, eight restaurants, four of the area's best golf courses, a spa, a tennis center and an equestrian show center. The world-class resort is an especially popular meeting destination, in part for its 25,000-square-foot conference center.
The Details
The inn's rooms feature oversized tubs with separate showers, country French furnishings and warm pastels. The spa also offers 14 guest rooms, each uniquely decorated around themes including art deco, western, Asian, Gatsby and Greek.

My family and I drove here from Atlanta after my son heard about it when the reporter fell while stomping grapes. Although our initial reason for going was quite silly, we ended up having a ball here. It was quite elegant and the spa was just fantastic!!! Be sure to take the wine tour!!!

The Chateau is marvelous. The tours and activities are top notch. I have also been to the spa a couple of times which was absolute luxury. The spa is much better here than in a hotel. This spa is a stand alone facility even though they do have their own rooms. The spa is grand with very professional people. Around Christmas time is the best time that I enjoy the Chateau and the adjacent hotel. There are loads of activities like ice sculpting, riding horses, balloon rides, petting farm, and even christmas carolers dressed in Dickens style attire. They have a lighting of the building and even Santa comes. My children like to see Santa arriving in actual horse drawn sleigh. This is the season I recommend. If you're going to stay at the hotel during this time be sure to make reservations as I know they fill up fast. Be sure to take advantage of the breakfast the morning after Santa comes.

Beware when making reservations at this place. If they've made a mistake on your reservation (such as putting in the wrong date), if you don't catch it on their email you'll have to pay for their mistake (even when they admit they entered the wrong date). In my case, this meant getting billed for a full day of "relaxation and fun" when neither I nor my guests were there. Not the customer service I expected from a "4 diamond" resort.
