Stuff to do
Mater's Pizza & Pasta Emporium
If you like pizza, this is the place to get it. I'm sure that the bride and groom will be having some at some point.
Jules J Berta Vineyards
Yes, they make more than muscadine. The Winery features estate grown wines such as Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Syrah, as well as fruit wines such as strawberry, watermelon, and locally grown muscadine. The winery includes 5 acres of vines located on a 22-acre farm. It is one of 10 located along the Alabama Wine Trail.
Old Town Stock House
Head Chef and owner, Crystal McKone, is an Albertville native, and high school classmate of the bride, as well as, later, her sorority sister. The restaurant is situated in the old Rexall Drugstore storage room, built in 1901. Her food is fresh, creative, and delicious. We highly recommend you check this one out.
Main Channel Brewing
All of the craft brews offered center around Lake Guntersville themes, which is the at the heart of the brewery itself.
Whimsy Edge
If you want to get a little shopping in, check out this adorable boutique in Albertville.
Wintzells Oyster House
Located quite close to the hotels where our rooms are blocked, this is a great place to grab some raw oysters. If the weather cooperates, they have beautiful views and outdoor seating.
Cathedral Caverns State Park
If you have a little extra time, this is a beautiful location. It's about a 30 minute drive from the hotels.
Arab Historic Village
Unlock Alabama’s past with a visit to Arab Historic Village, featuring a collection of 10 original buildings and a museum with items dating from the late 1800s through the 1940s. The buildings include a one-room school house, a country church, a homestead, grist mill, and blacksmith shop, as well as a country store and a clubhouse.
Sand Mountain Twin Drive-In
The bride used to look forward to the all night Halloween horror marathons at the drive in.
Mega Skate
That will take you back... Do not be surprised if you see a few of the homegrown bridesmaids checking out the Mega Skate.
Albertville Museum
The Albertville Museum Foundation serves to preserve and protect the history of the City of Albertville through the collection and display of artifacts and memorabilia related to the educational, commercial, agricultural, industrial, social and governmental facets of the City in an effort to educate residents and visitors so that we might learn from our past accomplishments and challenges while instilling a sense of civic pride among our citizens.
Harmony Park Safari
Admittedly, a bit of a hike from the wedding venue. However, for $9 a person, you drive your own vehicle through the facility and check out the animals - bison, bulls, zebra, llamas, deer, camels and more. They also have a reptile house and a turtle walk.
Lake Guntersville State Park: Campground
If you have time to do some hiking, head up to the state park. It is beautiful.
