Blue Ridge Georgia, tucked into the foothills of the North Georgia mountains, has a way of slowing everything down. The air smells like pine, the pace is truly unhurried, and there’s just enough to do for that couple who is looking for their next unique getaway. If this is you, then you’re at the right place. Below is a guide on how to spend a couple perfect days in this charming mountain town. Enjoy!
Berry Picking at Mercier Orchards
We recommend you start your morning at Mercier Orchards, one of the largest apple orchards in the Southeast. Depending on the season, you can pick apples, peaches, or berries straight off the branch while beautiful mountain views stretch out around you. It’s stunning, easy to enjoy, and will leave you with a fresh bag of fruit for the rest of your trip!
Trade the orchards for the trail with an afternoon of Horseback Riding! Blue Ridge’s surrounding forest and river valleys make for a beautiful riding experience, typically winding through wooded paths and creek crossings. You have to admit…there is something undeniably romantic about riding side by side through the mountains.
Dinner at Grace Steakhouse
Treat yourself to a proper night out at Grace Steakhouse. With perfectly cooked steaks, a well-curated wine list, and a warm intimate atmosphere, this is absolutely a place you you want to be with the one you love most.
Explore Downtown
Spend the morning exploring downtown Blue Ridge! Between all the shops, galleries, and Mountain Mama’s Coffee (a personal fav), this is a great place for an easy, fun stroll together.
Charcuterie Lunch at The Pasta Market
Stop by Pasta Market for a charcuterie board! This beautiful little store offers not only a fun shopping experience, but also a perfect place to stop for a midday meal. Do yourself a favor and bring the charcuterie to-go and have it at your cozy little cabin your rented for the weekend.
