WENEEDLOVETOO! The Carriage House Shoppes are a series of shops located in a mini-mall just north of the square. If you are headed toward either of the Mexican restaurants, you can’t miss it. Inside you will find the Georgia Winery tasting room, You-nique gifts(not open), the Strait Gate which offers Christian gifts and décor, the Yahoola Cherokee Museum, and a music studio that also provides lessons for a variety of instruments. Not all of the shops were open or staffed so we just wandered around checking things out. We did have a nice visit with a couple of people in the winery and that was very nice. It’s nice to pause for a minute and talk with the local residents. This building is a two story structure and we enjoyed hanging over the upstairs rail and checking out the action below. When visiting Dahlonega, it is so easy to focus on the stores that are gathered around the square but don’t forget the outlying shops as well. They need love too!
