Like a mirage rising in the early morning light, Château Élan lies seemingly suspended in its own world. More than four decades
ago we envisioned these rolling hills and vistas of natural beauty in north Georgia as the perfect setting for a 16th century style
French château framed by lush vineyards heavy with ripening grapes. Château Élan embraces a French country flair blended
with gracious southern hospitality. And like the loving care devoted to growing our bountiful vineyards, we dedicated ourselves
to nurturing our vision, seeing it gloriously thrive and become a 3,500-acre Four Diamond hotel and conference destination.
There is a subtle difference of excellence that distinguishes Château Élan from other world-class properties. It is our
uncompromising high standards of guest service and attention to detail we maintain without exception. It is the splendid choices
of amenities that seamlessly blend the fun and enjoyment of a magnificent hotel and winery with our acclaimed conference
services staff and superb meeting facilities.
