Job description

Set against the rolling hills of North Georgia, Chateau Elan Winery & Resort has grown from a single vineyard planted in 1981 into a 3,500-acre award-winning resort destination known for excellence in winemaking, cuisine and hospitality. The property is one of the most celebrated wine and culinary destinations in the Southeast, featuring a diverse range of experiences that draw guests from across the country.

Chateau Elan’s culinary offerings reflect its commitment to innovation, craftsmanship and regional influence. The resort boasts a dynamic collection of restaurants—from a refined French-inspired showpiece to an old-world speakeasy and a Southern-style chophouse. Together, these outlets create a vibrant, immersive experience for guests, guided by a talented team of chefs, sommeliers and hospitality professionals.

The resort’s 50,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor banquet and conference space make it a highly sought-after venue for weddings, corporate retreats and large-scale social events. With a mission to deliver “life’s pleasures without pretension,” Chateau Elan is both luxurious and approachable, blending classic Southern charm with world-class amenities.
