There are tons of amazing hikes in and around Dahlonega. If you're spending the weekend in the area, we definitely recommend checking out Amicalola!
This is a beautiful 3-mile trail really close to downtown Dahlonega. It's also a bit more relaxing than Amicalola if that isn't your thing. 10/10 picnic spot.
Chef Paco's is our favorite restaurant in Dahlonega. It's a great option for dinner if you're coming on Friday, or check out their Saturday brunch. Get the cinnamon roll :)
Every time we visit Dahlonega, Yoel always grills steaks. This is *the* place to get a killer ribeye and artisan sausages.
Montaluce is another fun winery in the area. The views and vibes are amazing. They also have a Saturday morning hike through the vineyards! Wolf Mountain wines are better though ;)
