Mountain Treasures, Ellijay, Georgia

Mountain Treasures is a unique shop where the front of the store sells apparel, décor, art, and jewelry, while the back of the store offers free samples of locally made wine and wine slushies from Cartecay Vineyards.

We all got slushies to cool us down in the Georgia heat. Kevin and I shared one of each of the three boozy slushies they had: a blueberry, a peach, and a piña colada flavored.

You can drink your wine in the store or you can take it out back to the boardwalk. We opted for the boardwalk so we could sit and enjoy.

The boardwalk connects the shops on N Main Street from the back, including a few restaurants. That makes this is the only place downtown you can walk around with alcohol.
