Yes! We’d love for our guests to follow a dress code for the following events: Welcome Party: Dressy casual – think elevated but comfortable! For women, sundresses, nice tops with skirts or dress pants, and polished but relaxed outfits are perfect. For men, collared shirts, polos, nice jeans or dress pants, and loafers or dress shoes work well. Ceremony & Reception: Cocktail attire – dress to impress! Midi or knee-length dresses, dressy jumpsuits, suits, and blazers are all great choices. For all other activities throughout the weekend, there is no specific dress code—feel free to dress comfortably! Weather & Packing Tips: Blairsville in May is typically warm during the day and cooler in the evenings. Highs range from 72°F to 78°F, while lows can drop to 50°F to 58°F. We recommend packing light, breathable outfits for daytime and layering with a sweater or jacket for the evenings. Comfortable shoes are also a good idea if you plan to explore!

Yes! We highly recommend arriving during daylight hours if possible. The road leading up to Paradise Hills Winery Resort & Spa is windy and can be tricky to navigate in the dark—especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area. A few other travel tips: Use GPS, but double-check directions ahead of time—cell service can be spotty in the mountains. Drive carefully and take your time on the last stretch of the trip. Pack a flashlight or use your phone’s light if you’ll be unloading bags after sunset.
If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly. We’ll be happy to coordinate with our caterers to make sure you're taken care of!
