Mor e Ways to Taste
In Asheville, we believe in getting

to know our food. Allow us to
introduce you! Get involved
with food tours, wine
tastings, farmers markets
and cooking classes.
Drive out to a nearby
farm or pick apples in
the late summer and
fall. All year round,
the WNC Cheese
Trail leads to
artisan producers
and charming
dairies, and
almost every
month, a food
festival connects
you with chefs,
farmers, bakers
and the delights
they serve.

dining scene,
learning from one
another, sharing
insight and
collaborating to
support new farms
and heirloom
produce. Their
innovation is more
than the sum of its
parts: Asheville
isnt just a dining
destination; its
a Foodtopia.

Think you know Asheville beer?

Think again theres always a new
brew to try here. Hailed as Beer City
USA, this town and its environs become
home to several new breweries each
year. Each one produces an array of
creative seasonal ales and lagers. In
the winter, try big, bold stouts and
crisp, spiced session brews. In the

warmer months, tantalizing sours
and farmhouse-style brews prime
the palate for the fresh, local meals
prepared in many tap rooms.
Because theres so much beer, we
all learn about it as we go and share
in the pleasures of such vast variety.
This is a sampling of the fine and varied dining in the area. All Asheville restaurants are smoke-free.
Many restaurants are handicapped-accessible and most offer gluten-free options.
Please check with the individual restaurant. For more information, visit ExploreAsheville.com/Foodtopia.

Make
ever y day
sweet
We love to
celebrate lifes
sweetness
in Asheville,
and no one does
that better than
our bakers,
chocolatiers and
pastry chefs.
In the morning,
savor a gourmet
doughnut with
your cup of coffee as you prepare for your day of
adventure. After a summertime lunch, cool off with homemade
ice cream or gelato as you stroll around the Grove Arcade
or through West Asheville. Complete your evening with an artisanal
raspberry truffle or perhaps a beer float (yes, thats beer and ice cream).
In winter, warm up with rich drinking chocolate or zingy mulled cider.
Your sweet tooth might not let you forget us, so many of our chocolate
companies ship nationwide.
