SAVOR by Valor concept, Auld Alliance at McLemore Resort in Rising Fawn, GA, was recently featured on Yahoo Creators, showcasing our distinctive approach to Southern dining.

As writer Malika Bowling shares: “It’s easy to lose track of time here. The light fades over Cloudland Canyon, and the dining room’s energy shifts from quiet elegance to convivial hum. Auld Alliance may be inspired by European heritage, but it belongs entirely to the South - a new chapter for American fine dining that celebrates tradition, innovation, and a sense of belonging in the clouds.”

We’re proud to see Auld Alliance recognized for redefining destination dining and setting a new benchmark in culinary-driven hospitality.
