Chateau Elan Winery and Resort’s Vineyard Fest returns Sunday for the 24th year, and this year’s theme — "Bon Voyage" — says it all. Organizers say the event aims to give guests a taste of the world with more than 100 varieties of wine, craft beer, and spirits … and, of course, plenty of food representing global cuisine. 

Along with the taste-testing, pros will host cooking demonstrations every half-hour inside the property’s Viking Culinary Studio. Vineyard Fest also features live music and activities including — of course — grape stomping.

Just in case you’ve never visited Chateau Elan (or seen it featured previously on Good Day Atlanta), the winery and resort is located on 3,500 acres in Braselton; more than 30 wines are produced from the fruits of the vineyard, and the resort includes newly renovated guest rooms and private villas, eight restaurants, a 45-hole course, and a popular spa.

So, ready to start tasting your way around the world? Vineyard Fest is happening Sunday, Nov. 7 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and general admission tickets include unlimited 1.5 oz pours of the wines, beer, and spirits; VIP tickets including early entry are also available. Chateau Elan is located at 100 Rue Charlemagne Drive in Braselton, right off of Interstate 85; for more information on tickets, click here
