Winter wonderland ~ Lodge in December 2010
Greetings!

Winter is the season that is associated with being dormant and with little activity but that is NOT the case here in the Blue Ridge mountains. This region is filled with seasonal events, opportunities to visit the mountains and explore the many cultural and regional attractions that make it so special.
 
For those looking to escape life's demands, possibly see some mountain snow or just relax in nature's splendor, come to Blairsville's mountain retreat... Our Paradise.
 
 
Look for us...

Winery Update: 

Paradise Hills was issued this county's (Union) first farm winery license. With over 400 vines planted and the winery production site constructed and equipped, Paradise Hills Resort awaits the final State approval.

Once completed, Paradise Hills will open for tours of the winery and wine tastings at the resort's Lodge. A Grand Opening is scheduled for early Summer 2013. 


Though not the county's first vineyard planted, Paradise Hills Resort is Union County's first family farm winery. With this region's recent explosion of growth in new vineyards & wineries, Union County can be included in efforts to attract tourism to our area.  

As hosts of Paradise Hills, Resort and Spa, Robert and Ilke Lander celebrate their 10 years in business in Blairsville. They offer vacation cabin rentals, a lodge for banquets / seminars, a full service European-style Spa, wedding gazebo and Team building center with Challenge Course and soon a Wine Tasting bar.

Artist Don Williams heads to the North Georgia Mountains at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds Sat. Jan. 26, 2013. 

 

If anyone ever needed proof that music is an international language, then they need to look no further than Don Williams. Don't pick his songs with all the skills of a class winemaker picking grapes - only the best will do, and the vintage results, as fans around the world all know, is just about the best blend of emotions the heart could ask for.
