Asheville is one of my favorite places to visit! It can be overwhelming to plan a visit to Asheville because there are just so many breweries and parts of town to explore. Check out my blog on the best breweries in Asheville here!
I’ve put together this guide for a two day trip to hit the highlights of this adorable mountain town. If you’ve got more time to explore check out my full guide to Asheville here!
Asheville Day 1
For your first day you have to go all in and hop around the South Slope area of town:
Start your adventure at Vortex Doughnuts to fuel up for a day full of brewery hopping.
Walk 2 minutes to Burial Beer, arguably the best brewery in North Carolina. Get there early to avoid the masses of people who will inevitably want to visit this great spot.
Walk 7 minutes to Hi-Wire Brewing. Their South Slope location is small but their beers are delicious!
Walk 12 minutes to Dssolvr, a newer brewery in central downtown. They are absolutely crushing it and I highly recommend a visit.
From the downtown strip walk 8 minutes to Terra Nova Beer Co for a tasty side pull Lager and some pizza to soak up your beverages.
If you are ready for another beer, pop over to Green Man, a 5 minute walk from Terra Nova.
Asheville Day 2
Start your day at Taco Billy for delicious breakfast tacos! You can order online ahead of time as well to save time.
Hike part of the Mountain-to-Sea Trail from the Folk Art Center to the Haw River Overlook. The views are gorgeous at the lookout of this 5.5 out and back trail. Plus, it is just a 15 minute drive from town!
After your hike take some time to drive part of the Blue Ridge Parkway for more stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
On your way back into town, check out New Origin for tasty beers and pizza and then the secret brewery Cursus Keme next door
Head to the Biltmore Village area for a relaxing afternoon:
Grab beers and lunch at Hillman Beer
Sit on the rooftop patio and drink delicious beers at Forestry Camp by the team at Burial
