Four Weekend Getaways from Atlanta

Sometimes we all need a break from the hum drum of our daily lives and to just head out of town. But when getting away for the weekend we don’t have a lot of time. If you live in Georgia, there are several weekend getaways from Atlanta filled with a memorable experience worth looking into that are only one to two hours away.

This 275 room resort features suites and villas with views of the vineyards. Tours of wine-making and wine-tasting gatherings are available.

 #2 – Mansion on Forsyth Park – Three hours outside of Atlanta is the Mansion on Forsyth Park in historic Savannah, Ga. Step back in time about a century into this Victorian mansion that accommodates 125 guests. The nearby Grand Bohemian Gallery features 400 pieces of art.

 #3 – Partridge Inn – Two hours outside of Atlanta is the Partridge Inn in Augusta, Ga.
