Since 1996, Chateau Elan Winery & Resort has welcomed friends, family, and wine enthusiasts each fall to celebrate the fruits of the harvest. Vineyard Fest has grown into our signature food and wine festival—and the highlight of North Georgia’s harvest season.

Now in its 27th year, the celebration expands into a reimagined two‑day experience. Guests will enjoy more than 30 award‑winning wines, chef‑driven cuisine, live music, hands‑on workshops, and curated activities across the resort. It’s a weekend dedicated to sipping, savoring, and experiencing the very best of wine country at Chateau Elan.

The 27th Annual Vineyard Fest will take place on Saturday, November 1, and Sunday, November 2, 2025, at Chateau Elan Winery & Resort in Braselton, Georgia.

On Saturday, events run from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM and feature curated, à la carte bookable experiences throughout the resort.

On Sunday, the signature all‑inclusive Vineyard Fest celebration runs from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Supporting our local community is always top-of-mind at Chateau Elan, which is why we are excited to announce that this year’s beneficent for a portion of all ticket proceeds will go towards our hometown hero, the Chateau Elan Military Support Foundation. The Chateau Elan Military Support Foundation is a 501 (c) non-profit organization that assists local veterans and active military and their families in need within the North Georgia area with food, temporary housing, and repairs.
