Blairsville Guidebook
Dining
This little Italian gem is a fantastic dining experience. Delicious food, excellent service, and some of the best dining memories you can make! Ask to purchase your own imported balsamic vinegar to take home as a reminder. This is my go-to dining experience in Blairsville. Don't forget to stop in to the wine shop to buy your adult beverages to take with you. See my listing for the neighboring shop!

The winery offers vintner's tours, tastings, seasonal live music, a gift shop, and the most awesome private spa that I've ever experienced...all under one roof. Call early to book the spa as it only hosts about 4-6 at a time. The amenities and offerings in the spa are fantastic, and it's only a few minutes away from Nottley's Riverfront Paradise so you won't have far to drive after your relaxation. The winery hosts seasonal live music and is perfect for spending an afternoon on the deck by the fire, out on the patio, or wandering inside the tasting room and gift shop. Oh, and don't forget to say hi to the goats! There's also craft root beer for younger guests.

This spa is another favorite - at about 25 minutes from the cabin, it offers a peaceful respite, beautiful views, and fantastic therapies in a peaceful setting. The spa is separated from the Resort, and the resort has some nice spots to grab a meal and a cocktail after your spa treatment. You can also visit Brasstown Stables on the property for a guided horse back ride on the trails of the property - a memorable and relaxing experience as well!
