Appalachian wine country
Asheville may be known as Beer USA, but underneath the mountain of hops lives a thriving wine scene. This is, in part, fueled by the over 180 wineries in North Carolina alone, each capturing the flavor of the land in their own unique way. It is no wonder that, everywhere you go in Asheville, you can hear the heavenly sound of crystal glasses clinking together.
