We are passionate about our land, respectful of its history, and grateful for the bounty of its provenance.

Welcome to the world of Quercus – an immersive, rural destination offering an idyllic getaway through the convergence of leisure, outdoor adventures, and refined dining. It is with great honor and tremendous pride that we open our doors to you, our guest, who is willing to experience nature in its most unadulterated form. Our all-inclusive property is located in Gay, Georgia and highlights a working ranch culture. We consider both our staff and guests part of our family, which is rooted in Italian and American traditions. We look forward to hosting you for a visit that is tranquil, delightful, delicious, and memorable.

We are truly honored to receive our first MICHELIN Key.

This news comes as we commence our second year sharing this quiet corner of Georgia, and it’s a testament to the care of each person who shapes the experience here at Quercus. We couldn’t be more grateful for this place, our guests, and our team who have shared in this unforgettable journey.

Donabe service is one of our guest’s most unexpected experiences and a wonderful showcase of the garden’s seasonality alongside our preservation program. Fresh vegetables join fermentations and pickles as diners make every bite unique. Intended to be shared and invoke a spirit of community.

This weekend we officially welcome guests back to our Fall Season after a summer of growing, harvesting, preserving, fermenting, and preparing. The days are still bright and warm, but at sunset the smell of Fall starts to creep in and sitting outside by the fire doesn’t seem so indulgent at all.

Ceramic fermentation jars bubble away alongside rotary evaporators and a commercial centrifuge. This is our food lab where we’re striking a balance between mastering techniques handed down through generations while discovering new ones using modern technology.

We know we need both working together to get the most out of what the team is growing on the farm and in the garden. New forms of preservation, distillation, and expression to find the essence of what this part of Georgia tastes like.

Guests have the chance to see the laboratory humming to life during dinner service while they experience the dishes born from these experiments … the ones that work of course.

Time of day. Angle of the sun. Shade or light. Warm fire or breeze. A gentle porch swing. Perhaps a dip in the tub. Or even back against an oak tree. Everyone’s idea of the perfect place to sit is totally their own. Called by a good book. The symphony of a grazing herd. Turtles sunning in the afternoon. Curled up in a chair, blanket-wrapped. Or maybe just a quiet moment with coffee in hand and not a care in the world. I guess that’s why we take sitting so seriously. Because there’s few small treasures quite like knowing you found the perfect spot.

Badger Flames erupting in color. Chioggias that ripple in stripes. Avalanches glistening white. When you spend an afternoon with Wes and Amelia in the garden, you learn quickly that there’s really no such thing as a “beet”.

The closer we look, the more we find a universe of diversity and flavor unfolding season by season. It’s part of a bigger conversation between what this corner of Georgia can yield and what Jake and the kitchen team need for their laboratory.

Smoking. Steaming. Fermenting. Distilling.

Ultimately we’re asking ourselves: How can we spark a delicious connection between our guests and the soil?

Because a beet is never just a beet.

The people who live here know Georgia is so much more than peaches. The blue ridge mountains to the north. The salt-marsh coastline and haunted moss-draped streets of Savannah. The creative heartbeat of Atlanta.

Every part of this amazing state and its people tells a different story. And then there’s ours, tucked in the quiet end of the Piedmont. Less famous but just as breathtaking where dense forest meets river shoals.

We’re proud to be part of one of the most naturally blessed states in the country and bring new attention to one of its hidden treasures.

The work of conserving and restoring the nearly four thousand acres entrusted to us at Quercus is fundamentally a relationship. A relationship between the garden, the soil, the animals, and our health.

We’re so inspired by the Relais & Chateaux association of properties to learn and deepen our understanding of these relationships. And how the interconnection between food, health, the environment, and hospitality coalesce into sublime experiences for our guests that at the same time further our commitment to land stewardship. More than anything we’re grateful to our team who make these experiences possible.

Van Gogh looked at the stars and wondered, "Why, I ask myself, shouldn't the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?” We used to look up at night and see galaxies and stars unfold in ribbons and look for answers to our place beneath them.

Four out of five people in the world live under light polluted skies. On a clear night out on the pastures we’re grateful to still look up and see Vincent’s shining dots. We’re working to keep that true as long as possible so generations to come can sit beneath them.

There are probably simpler ways to prepare a sauna than to send a concierge out into the pre-dawn darkness to build a discreet and embering fire so that guests awake at sunrise to their private, pre-heated sauna … but none of them are quite this satisfying. A totally analog experience perched within oak trees, pastures, and the roaring glow of fire.
