Overview
More than half a million visitors a year head to the romantic Chateau Élan, flamboyantly styled like a French estate and just a 45-minute drive from Atlanta. Its 3,500 picturesque, verdant acres are covered in grapes, which feed the property's working winery. Executive winemaker Simone Bergese has won more than 60 awards while working for well-known wineries including Firriato Winery in Sicily -- and Chateau Élan itself has earned more than 200 awards.
Six restaurants cater to foodies of all types, offering farm-to-table Southern cuisine, hearty Italian dining, fresh Mediterranean seafood, elegant French classics, and Irish comfort food (served in a pub that was built in Ireland and shipped piece-by-piece to Georgia). Cooking classes and demonstrations are hosted in the Viking Culinary Studio. There are also 63 holes of championship golf, an outdoor Olympic-sized pool with Jacuzzi, a fitness center, seven tennis courts, an equestrian center and a full-service spa with more than 30 treatment rooms and an indoor heated pool.
On view during the guided tours of the winery are the crushing and pressing machines, oak barrels used to age and flavor the wines, the cask room and the bottling area. The interior of the building houses a gallery with monthly exhibits by regional and national artists, displays of antique European wine-making equipment and a wine market.
From the press:
- "Château Élan does indeed pack quite a punch with the amenities it provides" -- U.S. News & World Report
- "Feels as if it belongs in another world: the pastoral, Impressionists' world of Southern France, to be precise" -- Gayot

I went with 8 women for a girls trip- we loved not having to leave. Restaurants, the pool, bars, the winery & spa were all right there.
Other Comments
- Signage needs to be better on the walking trails, group members got lost twice on both the longer serenity and the shorter nature trail.
-It's confusing how some restaurants include gratuity and a service charge and some don't. We found not all were up front if gratuity was already included.
-$100 for weekend use of the spa amenities seemed rather steep. We also weren't allowed to participate in the May deal because we just happened to be there the Friday of mother's day weekend.
-Spa online menu wasn't up to date. We came for certain items, like the lemon blueberry pancakes and were heartbroken that they were not available when we showed up.
-I guess we didn't understand what the resort fee covered if you have to pay for everything separately- bike, spa, tennis...all cost additional funds.
-No coffee or water available in the lobby in the morning or throughout the day.

I’m sure this a great conference center and golf club but good not for a group of friends to just go and relax.
The food and service at Marc was excellent - the highlight of our trip.
Other Comments
The food was overpriced for the lack of quality. Rooms weren’t comfortable - no area to sit and relax, just a desk and chair. No shelf in shower so we had to put our toiletries on the floor then bend over to reach them, not safe at all.
The spa was a great disappointment, no customer service whatsoever. Massage therapist was excellent, though. Not a relaxing, calming experience at all.

Food was excellent. The wine tour with Alex was the best wine tour we've ever had anywhere in the world including the Tuscany area of Italy.
