The little town of Blue Ridge in North Georgia is home to Mercier Orchards, a family-owned apple orchard founded in 1943 and now in its fourth generation. One of Georgia's top tourist attractions, Mercier Orchards celebrates fall with U-PICK events, tastings at the Farm Winery and delicacies from the bakery. Mercier grows strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and peaches, but this time of year the main attraction is the variety of crisp, sweet apples.
Set on 4200 acres at the foot of the Smoky Mountains, this award-winning resort has been getting guests back to nature in luxurious style since its opening.
