Area Attractions
Here, you can visit the homes of literary lions, such as Thomas Wolfe and Carl Sandburg, or gasp at America’s largest home, Biltmore. Marvel at the endless views atop Grandfather Mountain or deep within Linville Caverns. Visit Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak in the eastern United States. The whole region is filled with culture, thrilling music, and master artisans—from the Folk Art Center to the River Arts District. Experience the natural beauty of the region as only the open road can with a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Once you discover Asheville and Hendersonville, you may want to stay forever.
Asheville, North Carolina
Taste a craft beer on a guided brewery tour in the heart of “Beer City USA.” Kick back with bluegrass masters. Give a show a standing ovation at one of our many theaters, including Diana Wortham Theatre, and the Asheville Community Theatre (where a young Charlton Heston once directed). Explore the 250 rooms and 175,000 square feet of Biltmore, the French Renaissance château built by George Vanderbilt. Or try one of our hundreds of restaurants—dining on diverse cuisine from around the world and fresh ingredients from local farms.
In Asheville, the opportunities are as limitless as your sense of adventure.
Brevard, North Carolina
This small town is known for food, festivals, and waterfalls. Yes, waterfalls. Over 200 of them.
Here, you can hike, bike, rock climb, kayak, fish, golf, swim, or simply enjoy the natural setting. And nature isn’t the only thing around here. When it’s time for a party, this place can throw one—hosting everything from an annual Music Festival, to a Bicycle Road Race, to the White Squirrel Festival in the heart of downtown. In Brevard, there’s always music to be heard, food to be eaten, and some sort of outdoor adventure to be had. All you have to do is explore.
Hendersonville, North Carolina
An iconic mountain town, Hendersonville has it all—from beautiful scenery to southern hospitality, to wineries, cideries, and breweries.
Historic downtown Hendersonville is so iconic, in fact, it’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s brimming with antique stores, art galleries, museums, shopping, and places to eat. Add to that the small-town events like the local-vendor-only Henderson County Curb Market, and gorgeous scenic views like Jump Off Rock, and you have a place where there’s always something that makes this hidden gem worth a visit.
