Things To Do
Blue Ridge Bakery
Jillian’s old place of employment and the bakery who is providing desserts for the reception. Open Monday through Friday, 7am-6pm.
Blue Ridge Parkway
Take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, America’s favorite drive. An old military road used in the 1900s, the Parkway now serves as the most visited National Park. Fall is a great time to see the leaves changing on the parkway. Please be responsible and careful on the parkway, pull your car over to take pictures instead of stopping in the middle of the road and follow the speed limit.
Devil's Courthouse
The site of Jillian and Dave’s first kiss. This short but VERY steep hike attracts bird watchers, as it is a nesting site for Peregrine Falcons. The name comes from the legend that in caves underneath the overlook, the devil would conduct court.
Biltmore
Dave’s old place of employment and the largest privately owned home in America, the Biltmore Estate take you back in time to the 1900s. The estate boasts amazing colors in the fall and so many things to do- tour the house, attend a wine tasting, explore the estate via horseback.
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Built in 2009, the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Mills River, NC provides good food, great beer, and a relaxed atmosphere… probably with some live music.
