The Walking Dead fan guide to visiting Senoia

By sonya iryna | may 4, 2019.

Summer is a great time for The Walking Dead fans to visit Senoia, Georgia. If you’re planning a summer trip to Senoia here’s where to stay, eat, shop, and tour.

The Walking Dead recently started filming for season 10 in Senoia, Georgia. While filming sites are of course restricted there is a better than average chance that you may see some of the cast in Senoia during the filming season, especially if you are hanging out at some of the many Walking Dead themed shops and attractions in Senoia.

Senoia may be best known as the  home of The Walking Dead but lots of productions have filmed in Senoia over the years. You can find the title of productions filmed in Senioa embedded in the concrete on the sidewalks on Main St. if you look for them. The best place to start your trip is in downtown Senoia, which was the setting for “Woodbury” in season 3 of The Walking Dead.

The Alexandria Safe Zone set, also known locally as the Gin Property, dominates the area at the bottom of the hill that Main Street sits on. The corrugated walls hide all but the tops of the houses and the filming that take place inside but you can see the gate, the guard post, and the large windmill over the top of the barricade as well as some of the other set pieces. If you want to immerse yourself in The Walking Dead universe on your vacation this year here are some of the places that can make your vacation unforgettable.

The Best Things To Do In Senoia, Georgia

This small Georgia town is a charming weekend getaway.

Few towns find the balance between sensationalized and sleepy, yet Senoia, Georgia manages to do just that. What started as a railroad town was eventually made famous thanks to the silver screen. Award-winning classics such as Driving Miss Daisy and Fried Green Tomatoes were filmed here, which eventually paved the way for cult favorites like The Walking Dead . Each year, Senoia draws countless tourists eager to visit filming locations , but these visitors soon find there’s so much more to this town. Discover how to spend a weekend in Senoia, Georgia. 

Getting There 

Located southwest of Atlanta, minutes off of I-85, Senoia is easily accessible. Opt for a day trip or stay a few nights. Once you arrive, you can easily park your car and walk almost anywhere you need to go. 

Things to Do 

Start your tour at the Senoia Area Historical Society and Museum . Housed in the former family home of the town coroner, the exhibits include several rooms of local history and memorabilia. Pause at the postcard station which showcases mail from the now-shuttered post office. Select a postcard to read about town life. In the film room, you’ll find a list of movies, shows, and more that were filmed in and around town. The large projector was used for the production of F ried Green Tomatoes and later as a prop in The Walking Dead . 

Next, head to the Senoia Farmers Market held on most Saturdays throughout the year. Located on Travis Street in a former abandoned cotton warehouse, vendors fill stalls with eggs, flowers, produce, handmade gifts, and baked goods. Finkles Bakeshop , from husband-wife team Jimmy and Jessica Payne, offers seasonal flavors of perfectly plump doughnuts while Pottery by Kent sells brightly-hued ceramics. Nic & Norman’s , an outpost of the popular restaurant nearby, pours Bloody Marys, mimosas, and Gate City beers. Rotating vendors such as The Bitters Reality and Brewer’s Fire sell bitters and hot sauce respectively. Most stalls accept credit cards, but it’s smart to have cash on hand. 

Browse boutiques on Main Street for local flavors and personality. Olivia James Apparel has streamlined women’s styles while Dang! That’s Crazy is worth a spin to peruse oddities, knickknacks, and The Walking Dead production clothing and props. Book Love is one part book shop, one part cafe, and Greenhouse Mercantile has a selection of fair trade gifts and decor. 

Embark on the Senoia historic homes walking tour which makes over 50 stops. On the journey, you’ll see meticulously cared for, and in some cases, restored residences. Among the stops are the Buggy Museum, considered to be one of the oldest continuously operating wooden commercial structures in the state, as well as the Travis House, which among locals is referred to simply as “the Fried Green Tomatoes House .” Completed in 1910, the corner beauty served as the Threadgoode home in the film. 

For even more behind-the-scenes lore, book an experience with Georgia Tour Co . Choose from one of several themed tours covering scoop and settings ranging from Stranger Things to the Marvel universe. Depending on your fandom, there are walking, golf cart, and even bus excursions. All tours depart from Main Street in Senioa. 

Where to Eat 

For a small town, Senoia doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to food. Nic & Norman’s is a crowd-pleaser and often recommended. It has a menu of burgers and Southern-inspired entrees such as pimiento mac and cheese topped with brisket. Mess Hall, just a few doors down, is Senoia’s micro food hall. There are four stalls anchored by the local coffee shop, Senoia Coffee . Lisa’s Crêperie presents authentic French crêpes, and Beez Freeze slings snowcones. 

The scene stealer, however, is Bistro Hilary . Helmed by chef Hilary White, the restaurant is a high-end French and American-inspired bistro. Get started with one of the specialty cocktails, and be sure to ask the bartender if there are any off-menu specials such as batch sangria. Appetizers range from crispy deviled eggs to salmon rillettes, and the made-in-house organic wheat bread and salted butter arrive table side fresh from the oven. Spatchcock Cornish hen, beef bourguignon, and trout meunière amandine round out the menu. Vegetarians will delight in the farm-inspired, seasonal vegetable plate. The iterations change as the available produce does, but a recent iteration included lentils, roasted hakurei turnips, and cheesy squash casserole. 

Where to Stay 

After a day in town, kick up your feet at The Veranda Inn . The hotel was built in 1906 as a way to encourage train travelers to stay a few days to experience Senoia. It has remained an inn since its inception and has ten guest rooms. Margaret Mitchell reportedly conducted interviews here during her research when writing Gone with the Wind . Breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays has the usual fare along with two signature dishes: a tomato and feta salad and peach cobbler topped with homemade whipped cream. Southern hospitality at its finest.

• djl1957 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Awesome tour!! Jimmy was our tour guide and he was awesome. We love a bargain, but on this tour it really paid to dish out the $50 for the two of us. Jimmy was a wealth of information. Exciting to see Woodbury, Alexandria and the commonwealth. Also, visit the WD museum and the gift shop at the end of the tour. Lovely couple. They were awesome! Lots of additional info and I came home with a skirt worn in the show. A must do if you’re in the area and a WD fan! And don’t forget to eat at Norm & Nic’s Place! Great food.

The guide provided good info and pictures that one could see where many scenes were filmed. The only thing I don’t like with this tour company is their no cancellation policy even in the event of bad weather. We lucked out with a great day but it would not have been enjoyable to do in the rain. Read more Written November 13, 2020

I really enjoyed seeing a majority of the locations they use around Senoia, GA and the best part was the way they would use us in the interactive portions.

• Richard S 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Amazing tour, one of the best ever. We took this tour on the Monday morning after Easter Sunday and Sonoia was blissfully peaceful. Our tour guide was Andrea who was bright, knowledgable and had a genuine love of all things walking dead. The company are trialling a half walking half coach tour at the moment and we really enjoyed the format. An hour was spent being given a great tour of Main Street Senoia and the lowdown on how it was transformed into Woodbury for the show. The next 1-1.5 hours was spent on a small coach being transported to various locations in Senoia used during the filming of the show. Throughout the tour we were shown pictures taken from the show to let us see how the various locations looked on the small screen. Andrea had loads of details and stories to tell relating to the show and we thoroughly enjoyed hearing them. We also did the studio tour the day prior and the 2 complement each other perfectly. If you’re in the area then I can not recommend this tour enough. Read more Written April 22, 2019
• sephiraA 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Not only for die-hard fans! Since my sister isn't that much of a die-hard The Walking Dead fan, we were undecided about going to Senoia and doing the tour. We are both glad we did go! The tour was informative and entertaining. And Senoia is truly a beautiful place. Don't skip this gem! And our tour guide Jeni was awesome! You could really feel that she loves what she's doing. We had so much fun. Definitely one of our highlights of our road trip! Thank you from Germany. Read more Written April 9, 2019
