Things To Do
Biltmore Village
Our wedding venue, our welcome venue, and the room block are located in Biltmore Village. It's a historic village home to many shops, galleries, restaurants, and breweries.
The Biltmore House
There is SO much to do at Biltmore. You can of course tour the house but the gardens and grounds are spectacular, too. There are several restaurants, spas, excursions and activities. Go!
Corner Kitchen
A favorite! Come here for brunch, lunch or dinner for a southern food experience with modern flare. It's walkable, cozy, and absolutely delicious. Did you say, GRITS?! Make reservations.
Burial Beer Co. Forestry Camp Taproom
An actual compound for beer enjoyment. Food too. Great for large groups.
The Well-Bred Bakery & Café in Biltmore Village
Or just go to the Starbucks by the hotel. But his is a quaint local spot with outdoor seating and homemade pastries.
River Arts District
"Treasure Hunt", indeed! RAD is home to hundreds of local artists' studios and galleries. You can actually observe artists creating as most are working studios of woodwork, glass blowing, pottery, fine painting, jewelry, and more.

12 Bones Smokehouse RIVER
The RIVER location (this one) is closed on Saturday's and Sundays (lol) but it's the original. The SOUTH location is open on the weekends. If you are curious about western NC BBQ, please go here. This is an Asheville legend. SOUTH address: 2350 Hendersonville Rd
Downtown
Heart of the city of course but still quite small. Small with flare. Full of character. Lots of art. Lots of hippies. Lots of beer and food! The recommendations below are DT.
Battery Park Book Exchange
A must! Enjoy cocktails or coffee as you sit within a two-story book store and library with art and antiques.
Bouchon
FRENCH! Sydney's favorite.
Modesto
Chef's kiss - Italian. Small, make reservations.
Nine Mile
Jamaican. Tiny place and no reservations - Worth it.
Limones Restaurant
Modern Californian & Mexican cooking and fun cocktails - call ahead!
