Food
These pizza slices are MASSIVE! I always love there pizza and speciality slices. Such a great place for lunch!
PIE.ZAA Pizza
They have great bbq but I go more for their outside area with a large bar with lots of games and activities! I think its a great hang out spot and to get some good food
Asheville — Bear's Smokehouse BBQ
This is my top choice of food every time someone asks! Their BBQ is amazing but they do run out as they get closer to closing so make sure you go earlier than later.
Moe's Original BBQ
This place has some of the best breakfast and brunch. It never disappoints! During peak seasons you will wait for quite some time for a table so go around opening or later in the day! But you will love the food, hands down.
Sunny Point Cafe
My favorite chocolate place! Everytime I am downtown I have to stop here. Their chocolate is so good with so many options!
The Chocolate Fetish
Upscale southern food. They have two locations and downtown gets busy quick so you can always drive 15 minutes and the other location is more quiet. But the food and drinks are delicious!
Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar
If you are looking for a delicious dessert place! This is a must. Their chocolate shakes are to die for along with their cakes!
French Broad Chocolates
Drinks
One of my top places for local beer. I love the atmosphere since it gives some medieval vibes.
Burial Beer Co. | Asheville Craft Brewery | Modern Design | Meticulous
Just two minutes from the airport and is a massive place! It has great food and great drinks. It even has a place area for kids, amptheater for music and it is two stories for lots of places to sit indoors or outdoors. Its like the Willy Wonka of Bre...
Mills River Taproom - Asheville Brewery - Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
They have a few locations- the downtown location is great but can get busy quick! They have a 2nd location close to the outlets for a less busy location but the same drinks! They also have a 2nd downtown location called the Funkatorium if you like so...
Wicked Weed Brewing | Asheville NC Craft Brewery
This is such a cute coffee shop! I always loved stopping here to get coffee and the staff was always super friendly.
High Five Coffee
Shopping
A great spot to go shopping! Has tons of stores and lots of deals. I love going here when its time to shop for fun.
Asheville Outlets
Closer to the airport is this little shopping center! Its such a cute little area with food, shops and more. Its not as busy as downtown and is a little more upscale than the outlets. But has some great restaurants to walk too!
Home - Biltmore Park Town Square
So many cute shops to explore downtown when out and about. I love walk around looking at the shops inbetween eating and drinks!

Attractions
The Biltmore is stunning! I love the grounds more than the house but the views from the home are breathtaking. I love the seasonal flowers and little shopping area. They even have a free wine tasting for all their wines!
Fall at Biltmore
A great place to bring the kids who can run around but enjoyable for the parents. The gardens are breathtaking. Its such a fun attraction and has some hiking trials, and events for kids
Homepage - The North Carolina Arboretum
Whether you are a hiker or just love scenic views this is such a wonderful way to spend your afternoon! There are places to stop on the parkway to get the mountain views and its breathtaking year round!
Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville, N.C. | National Scenic Drive | Asheville, NC's Official Travel Site
About 30 mins from Asheville is another cute little town! They have a great kids attraction for all ages. It was a fun morning activity to tire out my little one and then got some coffee and snacks next door which were delicious
Hands On! Children's Museum
We go here every Christmas time for the gingerbread competitions but its such a beautiful place to visit and explore. The spa and rock caves are amazing for the perfect afternoon! Then get dinner or a drink with views!
The Omni Grove Park Inn
Just a few minutes from downtown but a smaller nature center that takes in wounded animals. Such a fun activity and is affordable!
Western North Carolina Nature Center
