Pigs In the City- Lexington Pig Map
For the out of state/town visitors: Find the pigs! Since Lexington is known for BBQ, some local businesses have their own themed pig outside of their business. Here's our Pig Challenge: 1. Use the map attached. 2. Find a pig, take a picture with the pig. 3. You must find at least 10 pigs. 4. Text your pig pictures to the bride or groom. First person to complete will get a prize from Jess & Bobby at the reception. BONUS POINTS: Check out a local BBQ joint and eat your BBQ next to a pic, with a picture! While you're out and about finding the pigs, check out the local businesses they accompany! You may find something fun for yourself!
Uptown/Downtown Lexington
Downtown/Uptown Lexington has some fun treasures! Pig City Books is one of Jessica's favorites, and features other small local boutique shops, coffee shops and restaurants. https://www.uptownlexington.com/ Black Chicken Coffee Shop Perfect Blend Coffee Shop Red's Donuts (A local favorite!) Pig City Books Sophia's Cork & Ale
Lexington Barbecue
Lexington is known for their barbecue! If you want the official barbecue of Lexington, then Lexington Barbecue is the place to go. There are other BBQ restaurants in town too.
Goose and the Monkey Brew House
Located in Downtown Lexington, we love to come here on Wednesdays for music bingo. We also love the beer and the pizza from PoFo ProCo, inside the brewery. They also offer sandwiches and burrito bowls and more and non-acloholic options and sodas or juice.
Short Circuit Arcade Bar
This arcade bar is so fun! Make sure you take quarters or bills to break into quarters (machines available) so you can play a wide variety of pinball machines, air hockey and so much more!
Childress Vineyards
Childress Vineyards is in our hometown of Lexington, NC. Owned by Richard Childress, former race car driver, this is a beautiful vineyard to enjoy a glass of wine in their spacious outdoor seating area. They also offer tastings and a bistro that serves brunch and lunch options. If you'd like to plan to eat here, reservations are required!
Weathervane Winery
Another popular winery, though smaller, just between Lexington and Clemmons. Tastings available and some indoor and outdoor seating for enjoying a glass of wine!
Native Vines Winery
This winery is the first American Indian owned winery, and they offer many unique wines. A bit of a hidden gem, but worth the adventure!
Downtown Winston-Salem
Winston-Salem has so much to offer! Unique shops, restaurants, and the historic Old Salem! Favorites: Bookmarks bookstore, Foothills Brewing (restaurant as well)
Tanglewood Park
This park hosts the Festival of Lights at Tanglewood for Christmas time, for those that have seen our pictures! Trails, picnic areas and a golf course if this interests you as well!
Wake Forest University
Might be kind of fun to wander the campus in the Fall!
Hanging Rock State Park
Although we've not been here together, I (Jessica) have been here a couple of times with friends. There are shorter hikes, trails, and the most popular but strenuous hike to the top of Hanging Rock. Worth the climb for the stunning view! Keep in mind: 1 hour 5 minutes from Mocksville 51 minutes from Clemmons 1 hour from Lexington 41 minutes from Winston-Salem
Pilot Mountain State Park
Pilot Mountain is easy to spot from the highway and gives a stunning view! A trail around the base of the mountain gives a view of Winston-Salem from miles away on a clear day, and would offer beautiful views of the North Carolina fall foliage! 44 minutes from Lexington 48 minutes from Mocksville 24 minutes from Winston-Salem 34 minutes from Clemmons
North Carolina Zoo
One of the largest natural habitat zoos in the world, the NC Zoo features wide walking paths, spacious animal habitats, and regions dedicated to Africa and North America, and by the time the wedding comes around the Asia region should be open! — Plan for comfortable shoes and a few hours to explore!
