Valentine’s Day Getaways
Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that sneaks up on you. After the hustle and bustle of the holidays – with Christmas family traditions and New Year’s parties, it seems like one moment it’s December and the next it’s February!
This year let your New Year’s resolution be to not postpone a Valentine’s Day agenda. Even if you’re single, having a special event to attend on Valentine’s Day can help make the day as enjoyable as any regular weekend festivity.
North Georgia is full of some great ideas for Valentine’s Day activities. Choose one or combine them all into a Valentine’s Day that singles and couples alike are sure to enjoy:
- Take a stroll through the vineyards.
North Georgia is well known for its wineries and tasting rooms. Choose from any or all of the four historic wineries in White County – Sautee Nacoochee Vineyards, Yonah Mountain Vineyards, Blackstock Vineyards and Habersham Winery. See the grapes, taste the wine and tour their shops for one-of-a-kind foods and gifts.
- Enjoy the scenery!
Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, North Georgia is full of nature getaways. Unicoi State Park offers abundant hiking and wildlife watching opportunities. Smithgall Woods Conservation Area and a number of waterfalls – including Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls and Mill Creek Falls, offer beautiful overlooks that can be enjoyed after a hike or as a simple afternoon stop on your way to dinner.
- Rent a cabin.
Sometimes the best vacations are the ones where you just relax! With so many cabin rental options, North Georgia is the perfect place to do just that. There are cabins that can accommodate any group – from a romantic getaway to a group reunion. Plus, the amenities often include private hot tubs, fireplaces, roomy beds and beautiful scenic settings. What’s not to love?
As Valentine’s Day draws near, consider escaping to the North Georgia mountains. From shopping and dining to being outdoors and coming in to a warm fire, the opportunities are endless.
