A goldmine of wine. Staff is knowledgeable about wine and pairing it with food. Try the grilled, pimento cheese sandwich and the smoked trout dip is to die for. Wine tasting every Friday ...... that's now virtual. GREAT place to get a sandwich to go. Under $10 which is a deal in this area. Behind her shop is the Nature Park which is a perfect spot for a picnic.
Stephen likes the Rueben and I always get the roast beef.

Global Italian. Good for a casual but nice lunch or a special occasion dinner. I usually get the special of the day. Have not been disappointed yet. Love to look up at the tin ceiling. They added outdoor tables. Probably best to make a reservation. They also do brunch.

This is the ORIGINAL location and where they still make everything. Doesn't look like they offer inside dining yet, but they've added more tables outside and it's wonderful for take out. Great atmosphere. Local hangout. More desserts and pastries than you could wish for. Try the Swiss Cream or the GF dark, chocolate Florentines with almonds and ginger. The kale salad with cranberries is delish also.

On the National Register of Historic Places, the Grove Park Inn was inspired by the lodges built for the National Parks. Walk into the impressive lobby with a huge fireplace on either side. In the winter the rocking chairs are lined up in front of them and they go like hotcakes. Walk the halls and check out the Arts & Crafts furniture, etc. displayed throughout the hotel. It's the largest public display in America. Ride up the elevator in the chimney. It's one of a kind. Sunset Terrace Restaurant has stunning views of Asheville with the Blue Ridge Mountains for a backdrop. FREE

Several log cabins that belonged to the family of Zebulon Vance the Governor of NC during the Civil War and a museum with a short film tell you about the varied career of this influential orator. He also was the lawyer for the doomed Tom Dula made famous by the Kingston Trio in the song Tom Dooley. Check their website for reenactments throughout the year and for the Christmas candlelight event. It's just minutes from our house.
