Chateau Élan began as a winery with vineyards surrounding a chateau inspired by 16th-century France, located 40 minutes north of Atlanta. It has grown into a 3,500-acre resort with a 320-room inn, 45 holes of golf, eight restaurants, a 35,000-square-foot European-style spa, and a tennis center designed by Stan Smith, featuring both tennis and pickleball courts.
