Goat yoga and forest bathing are just two of the activities guests at this family-owned estate turned 2,000-acre biophilic retreat near Atlanta can write home about. What really captures the imagination, though, is the food: wholesome ingredients farmed fresh from 25 verdant acres at Serenbe Farms or hauled in from neighboring purveyors and served at the on-site restaurant. Full country breakfasts are a daily treat, while the seed-to-table dinner menu at The Farmhouse restaurant changes seasonally. Alfresco dining on the wraparound porch—that most Southern of Southern staples—is just the bourbon-soaked cherry on top.
