Biltmore, Barbecue and Breweries in the Blue Ridge

Written by Palmetto Bluff

I’ve been a Delta Airlines frequent flyer since 1993. By the time you read this article, 14 months will have passed since my last flight—by far the longest I’ve ever kept two feet on the ground. But after a year marked by COVID-19 travel concerns, Asheville, North Carolina—an easy three-hour drive from my hometown of Atlanta—has emerged as a literal breath of fresh air.

I recently spent a wonderful birthday weekend eating, drinking, and hiking my way around Asheville; just a few hours north of Atlanta felt like a total (and much-needed) world away. Here are some of my top picks for spending 48 hours in this special mountain town. Too many places to go, see, eat, and drink on this list? Well, you’ll just have to plan a return trip for October, when Blue Ridge Mountain leaf-peeping season is at its peak.
