Things To Do
5 Walnut Wine Bar
A sweet little wine bar in downtown Asheville where we had our first date.
All Day Darling
One of Tracy's favorite spots to eat in town, with lovely outdoor seating.
Ginger's Revenge
Home to the best craft alcoholic ginger beer.
Zillicoah Beer Co.
Our favorite open-air riverside brewery. Enjoy the amazing food trucks, great beverages, and riverside atmosphere. They made an incredible recovery after being completely destroyed during Hurricane Helene!
UNCA Farmers' Market
Visit this wonderful farmers' market (known as a "tailgate market" in Asheville) on Saturday morning 8am-12pm on UNCA's campus (where Tracy and Dan met!). There's just enough time to visit the market before our 10am pre-wedding workout in Carrier Park!
River Arts District
Stroll Asheville's beloved River Arts District (RAD), full of breweries, restaurants, and art galleries. Much of this area was destroyed during Hurricane Helene; you will see some of these impacts, and also the strength and resilience of the RAD's recovery since.
East Fork Asheville
Famous Asheville pottery we love dearly!
Mountains-to-Sea Trail Hike
A punchy (a.k.a. steep) hike with gorgeous views that starts at the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway. One of our favorites!
Bent Creek Experimental Forest
One of our favorite places to hike and mountain bike. Bring a small backpack to carry water, snacks, sunscreen, hat, phone, wallet.
The North Carolina Arboretum
Did you know that Western North Carolina is the most biodiverse region of the continental United States? Check out what this gorgeous area has to offer at the renowned NC Arborteum.
Pink Beds Loop Trail
An accessible, flat 5-mile loop trail winding through our beautiful Pisgah National Forest.
Looking Glass Falls
Enjoy this gorgeous road-side waterfall in Pisgah National Forest. Plenty hiking trails are nearby if you'd like to get adventurous.
The Hub and Pisgah Tavern
Situated right at the gates of the adventurous and beautiful Pisgah National Forest, The Hub is a favorite of locals and travelers alike. Rent a mountain bike for the local trails, grab a beer, or shop the outdoor gear.
