What is culinary tourism and why is it the fastest growing trend in the travel and tourism industry? It’s simple; people love to vacation, but a
unique dining experience makes the trip all the more enticing. Atlanta is surrounded by amazing summer resorts that are just a short car­ride
away. Here are five great dining experiences not to be missed at some of Atlanta’s most popular summer getaways. Safe travels and bon
appétit! Written by Steak Shapiro of Atlanta Eats
Get the latest restaurant reviews, neighborhood guides, and dining special delivered to your inbox every week. Old Edwards Inn | Madison’s This unbelievably charming and elegant hotel in Highlands, NC includes one of the great resort restaurants in
the southeast. In just two short hours, you’ll be transported to a quaint and relaxing setting with artful plates of Schnitzel, short ribs and southern
breakfast.
Blackberry Farm | The Barn If you don't mind putting on a jacket for dinner, then get ready for a fine dining experience like none other at
The Barn. Pork loin, oven roasted hen and gulf snapper bring home old school, southern elegance that is equally delicious. Barnsley Resort | The Rice House Tucked away in Adairsville, Georgia sits one of Atlanta’s best weekend getaways, with an outstanding
dining room to match. The mouthwatering menu wins across the board, whether it’s fresh wild caught king salmon or the perfect fillet mignon. A
1880s­era farmhouse setting simply adds to the charm. The Inn at Serenbe | The Farmhouse While the resort provides a great sanctuary in Chattahoochee Hills, Ga, the food at The Farmhouse is
simply spectacular. You’ll never eat a juicier pork chop or a more delicious bourbon pecan pie. The Ritz Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation | Gaby’s By The Lake Gaby’s By The Lake has it all: a location in close proximity to Atlanta,
gorgeous on­the­water views and a fresh take on American cuisine. The atmosphere and menu is casual, and the food is so beautiful that it
competes with the remarkable scenery!
