If you’re into eating locally and supporting sustainable agriculture, go to Asheville—and eat, eat, eat. This town of less than 100,000 people has 17 farmers’ markets, and the local restaurant scene is all about taking advantage of the seasonal produce sold there. And don’t miss the area’s microbreweries.

Fine Arts Theater

Reviewed By kytraveler800

We were fortunate to happen on a showing of "Fantastic Fungi" on our two day trip to Asheville. We love seeing films in this art theater. Even afternoon showings are always almost or totally full with a great audience that is very engaged--and the films are good. This was no exception. If you are in town, but sure to check out what is playing. It is right next door to the Blue Spiral Gallery, and lots of other galleries, restaurants etc. are just a short walk away.

Our group had an amazing time doing the wine tasting in the dark, our host was very fun and knowledgeable, and they were extremely accommodating despite us being pretty late to the experience. (sorry guys) Can't wait to go back once we visit again!

Our family (myself, husband, daughters ages 6 and 8) did The Super Secret room last night. Our daughters have been wanting to do an escape room and we finally found a family-friendly room. It was awesome! The girls were able to fully participate, yet it was challenging enough that my husband and I both really enjoyed the room as well. Our host, Jon, was amazing. He engaged the girls and talked to them and was kind, helpful, and funny. We can’t wsit to go back!
