There a couple of links for wineries in and near Ashville: https://www.ncwine.org/wineries https://www.romanticasheville.com/wineries_winery_tours.htm. The first link shows one in Banner Elk which is where we go for snow skiing. It is an hours drive from the cabin. Also in Asheville there is the Biltmore which is a great place to visit. There is an entrance fee to get in. Another great place to visit that doesn't charge admission is the Grove Park Inn. It is a beautiful hotel that you can walk around and sit out on their porch with a beautiful view of the mountains. Here is their link https://www.omnihotels.com/hotels/asheville-grove-park.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a beautiful to drive and has many interesting places to stop along the way and see. My parents always loved going to the The Orchard at Altapass where they often have live music from the local folks (www.altapassorchard.org). At mile marker 382 outside of Ashville is the Home of the Southern Highland Craft Guild representing craft artists from Southern Appalachia. Other points of interest driving the Blue Ridge Parkway is the Moses H Cone Memorial Park near Blowing Rock as well as Grandfather’s Mountain and Linville Falls that offers beautiful views especially of the fall leaves and offers great hiking.

South of Ashville (about an hour from our cabin) is Chimney Rock Park but closer to us is Mount Mitchell State Park (www.ncparks.gov/mount-mitchell-state-park). Great hike!

Another great activity is ziplining! We have never gone in the Ashville area but I have heard great things about Navitat. You can check it out at navitat.com.
