Heading to Ashville NC next week, doing the expected Biltmore, Grandfather
Mtn. and hitting a cidery, what other things are worth doing over a 3 day stay. Also any restaurant recommends?
My first trip to Ashville.

The Chemist is also a great place for drinks. I had lunch at Daddy Mac's last trip. It's worth skipping.
Asheville Tourists games are fun too.

Lazy trip down the French Broad (river). New Belgium right on it.
French Broad brewery is small and out of the way but liked their selections.

But for restaurants go to Weaverville:
The Glass onion
Wel-bred Bakery (Asheville and Weaverville locations)
Also Rocky’s Hot Chicken

the way brewery there. Zebulon Ales. I’ve seen them listed as a Top 10 unique breweries in US. He currently has an ale recreating the ale that Ernest Shackleton had on his final voyage. Wild stuff.
I’d also suggest Edna’s Hideaway. Another top notch distillery that uses foraged Appalachian ingredients. Some really great stuff.
And I would strongly agree on Well Bred Bakery . Voted best small town bakery in US. So good. They also have a spot in Biltmore Village if you’d rather not drive up to Weaverville.
But so good.

...outside after 20 minutes. Cost me $22 to view the grand hall.
We watched the OJ white Bronco chase from the motel room.
