Three well-dressed women enjoy the front lawn at Chateau Elan Winery. — Dress to impress for a day at the winery.

Dearest Gentle Reader, during the off season the ton has been eagerly anticipating Bridgerton's next season, and we couldn't help but join in the fun and offer an itinerary for all the Lords and Ladies looking for a proper affair to remember.

High Tea at Versailles

Chateau Elan Winery and Resort

100 Rue Charlemagne | 678-425-0900 | chateauelan.com

Without question, every member of the ton should experience Versailles' Afternoon Tea. The loose-leaf teas are of the finest quality, and your party will also enjoy a curated collection of handmade savory sandwiches, sweet bites crafted by the most talented in-house pâtissier team. Partake in tasty tea sandwiches, freshly baked scones, pastries, petit fours, served with preserves, honey, and clotted cream in a stunning grand venue. Versailles' spectacular glass-top atrium provides the loveliest lighting and offers a spectacular setting for your afternoon tea—and the most recent gossip.

Be sure to let your feet wander and explore Chateau Elan Winery & Resort, a resort reminiscent of a French country estate with rolling vineyards and magnificent lawns. It is rumored that the Duchess of Mulberry attempted to hire the Chateau's lead grounds man, but he, devoted to his creation, declined so that you too can enjoy these manicured masterpieces. Secure a patio table, enjoy the sound of the fountain underlying scintillating conversation, play a few yard games, and sample some of the award-winning vintages while on your quest.

There is more than one day's worth of activities to discover at Chateau Elan Winery & Resort. Should your party visit for a getaway, you may choose from various luxurious lodgings, world-class dining, and activities suitable for the whole family.

Fashionable, Sassy & Pampered

We now invite you to another excellent diversion, shopping in Braselton. The Countess of Elan was recently overheard to say that she will only shop at Braselton's area establishments because of their stylish and sassy selections. This author heartily agrees with the Countess in this matter and would also mention their excellent service and quality fabrics. It seems that Braselton's unique and locally owned boutiques are all the rage for this season's attire and accessories.

Simply Thompson

9924 Davis St, Suite 3 | 770-713-8834 | Simply Thompson

Gentle Society will discover Historic Downtown Braselton's charms include an inviting Town Green and several eateries and shops for tasty treats, craft cocktails, unique gifts and home décor. Enjoy a short promenade around Braselton Brothers Department Store building, a beautifully restored historical brick building, and discover one of our favorite modistes, Simply Thompson. Choose feminine frocks from fun to classic and sophisticated for the next soiree.

7330 Spout Springs Rd, Suite A-3, Flowery Branch | 770-967-1300 | Image Boutique

Dear reader, we are excited to note that maxi dresses and the flutter and puff sleeve are back for ladies desiring a soft, feminine look this season. Though it is not located in the historic district, this boutique is well worth the short side trip for an adorable garden party dress as an addition to your closet.

Braselton Boutiques

Let us be your Coachman.

Much to this author's sadness, the horse-drawn carriage has fallen out of style, but Braselton does offer a suitable substitute in its rather adorable vintage-styled trolley. On Friday evenings 5 to 11 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. the trolley is available as transport to area attractions and establishments. Or make it a grand affair and rent the trolley for a special occasion.

Fill your belly ...

It is with great relish and much indecision, that your party will choose an evening dinner location. Chefs, sommeliers and brewmasters may be discovered throughout Braselton, and their love for food and drink is apparent by the collection of authentic, locally owned restaurants with such a diverse and international number of offerings. The best choice is to try them all while in Town.

Wine & Dine like Royalty

... then fill your dance card.

After experiencing a lovely day fit for royalty, we have at last made it to the reason most of us are here: the signature celebrations that ensure that this season will offer Society plenty of opportunities to mingle, make that perfect match, and to enjoy the ones that we hold most dear. It is our greatest desire that you enjoy your stay and the connections made in our charming town, and we will see you this season for a promenade around Braselton.
