Best Friends' Guide to a Galentine's Weekend Away

Traveling to new places or returning to favorite destinations is a lovely treat made more enjoyable when done with best friends. Madison, Georgia’s scenic setting, historic downtown and small town charm make this a wonderful place for a Galentine’s weekend away.

Friday

After the car ride into town, stretch out with the free, self-guided walking tour of Madison’s stunning Historic District or sign up for a yoga class at a local studio.

Next, savor traditional pub fare at the British-inspired Hart & Crown Tavern while cozying up next to a fire or keep it casual and fun at Wing Nights @Benny Paul’s whose retro, Hollywood vibe is a hidden gem in the heart of downtown Madison.

Saturday

Horseback riding on trails is one of our favorite fall activities

In the morning, have a best friends’ adventure and reserve a time to go horseback riding at Southern Cross Guest Ranch. After your activity, get pampered with your pal at ZEN Relaxing Wellness Center.

In the afternoon, have fun perusing independently-owned shops with clothing, antiques, décor and more. Do not forget to pick up something sweet from The Chocolate Box Gift Shop! Afterward, enjoy a fresh coffee or cocktail at The Sinclair  or a flight of beer at Amici before winding down for dinner.

Later, delight in an exquisite dinner at Town 220 or Ricardo’s Kouzzina with delicious food and unique venues.
