WARM WEATHER VACATIONS


 CONCERTS, FOOD AND EXCITING ARTS 
May is our vacation kickoff. Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” takes the stage at Atlanta’s Fabulous Fox Theatre, broadcasting to the world all we have that makes us special: Vidalia onions, the best American music (we practically invented it), storytelling, poetry, barbecue, literature and folk art.

Wines Down South is covering the vacation roadmap, recommending the best places to visit and what to do there.

The Atlanta Botanical Gardens opens a new sculpture exhibition and has a season of live concerts featuring legendary Merle Haggard. From the great festivals and events in Nashville to exciting Myrtle Beach and Fernandina Beach and points in between, we’ve provided a rich selection of fun and affordable destinations. The entertainment in Tennessee is riveting and the food and wine in Alpharetta, Dahlonega and Charleston will make this a spring to remember.

We support our Atlanta

The annual Georgia Media Marketplace is in Statesboro this month. Doc Lawrence and our staff journalist Lynne Brandon will be joining distinguished travel writers to tour Georgia’s amazing farms, small towns, and historic sites including a visit to the Vidalia Onion Museum. This year was the inaugural of the Golden Onion cooking competition and the winning recipe is included. Just click on the onion icon (on right) and pair it with a delicious wine selected by Doc Lawrence. (click wine glass.)

The New Orleans Wine and Food Experience highlights Memorial Day weekend and, of course, Doc will be there again, hobnobbing with famous chefs for new taste trends in the South.

May is graduation for thousands in high schools and colleges and Wines Down South salutes these young men and women, wishing you the best life has to offer. Also, here’s a shout out to your parents. You, the graduates, are our future and we’re very proud of you.

Vacation season is in high gear. Places that offer so much adventure, convenience and savings are often less than a half-day’s drive. The most romantic and those with the finest food, abundant natural beauty and friendly smiles are where you’ll find Wines Down South.
