The NC Arboretum is full of shorter trails, great for families, and beautiful botanical gardens. It's lovely all year, but spring is when it seems like entire mountainsides bloom simultaneously. Well worth a visit!

Metro Wines is a wine store, but they always have wine available to taste. Look online ahead of time to see what's open and what special events they might have going on. (We stumbled onto a 10 bottle Rose tasting, for free!) Take a few minutes and talk to their employees about wine - you'll always learn something. We enjoy hanging out with Charlie and Andy every time we go in. Really great wine store!!

If you like sour beers and you've already visited New Belgium, head to Wicked Weed and check out theirs. A must-see on the South Slope, Wicked Weed is a small brewery that knows what they're doing.

Arts & Culture
The Biltmore... a stunning sight at any time of the year. There's something for everyone here: a winery, acres of gardens, and the home/museum itself. A worthy day trip.

Lovely spot for a picnic and some time outside. This park is along the Asheville Greenway, a pedestrian and bike friendly path that follows the French Broad River. There's a nice three mile loop between the French Broad dog park and Carrier Park for any visiting runners.
