A NATURE-LOVERS HAVEN
Welcome to Appalachia! Some of our favorite hikes include (but are not limited to): Catawba Falls. Located off I-40, right at exit 73. You have the option of climbing up rougher terrain and making it to the upper falls that are spectacular. Skinny Dip Falls, Graveyard Fields, Grey Beard Trail, Lookout Mountain, Route 9 Falls, Black Blossom, and Crabtree Falls are high on the list!
Check out Asheville Trails for more great hikes!
DID SOMEONE SAY BEER?
Your entire visit to Asheville may be because of the exploding craft beer scene. Whether it brought you here or kept you here, it will spoil you and raise the bar for all future brewery hopping!
The South Slope in downtown Asheville is where your tour must begin! You can hit over a dozen breweries by foot! And Ubers and Lyfts are widely available!
Some of our favorites! (Remember… you can order half pours and share flights! Pace yourself!)
The Wedge Brewing is the River Art’s brewery of choice. They recently opened a second location in THE FOUNDATION, where our new warehouse space is!
Other favs include…Funkatorium, Catawba Brewing, Twin Leaf, Green Man, Wicked Weed, Bhramari, Burial, Asheville Brewing Company, One World Brewing, High Wire, Lexington Avenue Brewery, Habitat Tavern, and Commons.
There are plenty of others scattered around Asheville! Cheers!
INDULGE YOUR TASTE BUDS
Vivian is a new European inspired menu right next door to us on Depot! Grey Eagle (delicious tacos!), Fresh West Pizza, Nourish and Flourish (amazing organic juice and worldly teas), White Duck Taco (not your typical tacos), and The Wedge for beers in the sun!
There is an abundance of amazing food in town. We enjoy a plant-based diet and we are in luck because Asheville has such an incredible variety!
Check out: Plant, Dobra Tea West, Gan Shan Station, Little Bee Thai, Blue Dream Curry, Rosetta’s, Gypsy Queen, Laughing Seed, Elements, Ultra Coffee Bar, Fire Storm Cafe, Zia Taqueria, Mela, Heiwa and so many more!!
Thanks, Asheville! You’re the best.
DIVE INTO THE ARTS
One of our favorite things to do is walk around and appreciate Asheville. From the architecture to the graffiti and murals lining old warehouse and water towers, there is so much to appreciate!
Additionally, Asheville has a booming arts scene, and we are located in the heart of it!
Come explore Asheville’s River Arts District! Artists, glass blowers, potters and fashion designers unite to bring something truly magical to this old industrial area. Check out: riverartsdistrict.com
