Day Trips in Atlanta

"The town to visit for banjo picking, wine tasting, and river tubing. A little over an hour north of Atlanta in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains, Dahlonega is known for its Appalachian music and has hosted free concerts and jam sessions on its square. The Crimson Moon cafe, also on the town square, hosts live acts and serves Southern comfort food. Wine country surrounds Dahlonega in the area’s countryside. Wolf Mountain Vineyards and Three Sisters Vineyards are two options on the wine trail; note that Georgia produces a fair amount of sweet wines. Perhaps the most relaxing option is to tube or kayak the nearby Chestatee River with one of the area’s outfitters." - MATADOR_NETWORK
