Things To Do
Vistor Guide
This guide put together by our venue, Chestnut Ridge, is a great resource for things to see and do, as well as places to eat and stay near the venue and in nearby downtown Asheville.
Biltmore Estate
The Biltmore is one of the most famous homes in America. We recommend buying tickets in advance if you plan to visit, but your ticket includes self-guided tours of the home and gardens, as well as a complimentary wine tasting at Biltmore Winery.
The North Carolina Arboretum
We had our engagement session here and it is a beautiful and relaxing walk in the outdoors. $20 parking fee
Western North Carolina Nature Center
Experience wildlife up close with a trip to the WNC Nature Center, located just 10 minutes from downtown Asheville! Our favorite animals were the otters, black bears, and red pandas!

Our favorites include New Belgium Brewing, Highland Brewing and Ginger’s Revenge (if you like ginger beer).
