Madison, Ga Kitchen Tour of Homes

I am reposting this entry because Charlentrèe will no longer feature "Places" as a separate page.

     I have just spent the most delightful day at the Madison, Ga Kitchen Tour of Homes. I had to blog about it immediately! I came across this local tour while searching for the dates of Madison’s renowned Christmas Tour of Homes. I almost had a heart attack when I saw that there was a kitchen tour of homes and it was just two weeks away, at the time. Everything about the day exceeded my expectations. To start, right after we picked up our tickets we were offered the opportunity to be chauffeured to each home on the tour in a Ford Model A… needless to say we took the offer! From then, I felt like I had died and gone to my very own “Charlotte” heaven. Each home was uniquely and beautifully decorated and showcased a local chef creating deliciousness to be sampled. Everything was decadent but some of the real standouts were the chocolate chip cheese ball, gazpacho, English toffee, and pizza from Amici. I brought home a souvenir cookbook, had more delicious food at Chophouse Grille, and finished the day exploring shops in downtown Madison. I am including pictures from some of the homes. I wish I could show you everything; however, some homes did not allow pictures. Here is the link to the Madison, Ga. Chamber of Commerce in case you want to book a tour of your own; I highly recommend it!
