Entertainment & Activities

This is the "factory" where they make their chocolate-bean to bar. Very neat! If you're here for a few days, this is pretty neat. And yes, there are samples included. Yum!

Driving and hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway is a draw for many visitors in the Blue Ridge Mountains. One of our favorite quick and easy hikes is Craggy Pinnacle. This short hike (about 3/4 mile) gets you 360 views of the stunning mountains. (In the winter, check for road closures on the Blue Ridge Parkway website).

Drinks & Nightlife

Our favorite Porter and our favorite Pizza. One of the first breweries in town. It's not upscale, but it is fun and the food is delicious. Grab a pint and throw some bean bags (or play giant Jenga).

We have always called this the "champagne bar," though it's more than that. A great spot for wine, dessert, or a cheese board, in an atmostphere that feels like you're in a living room made of books.

Essentials

Our local grocery store chain is pronounced "ing-gulls", not like the Spanish word for the English language. (It's named for its owner, Bob Ingles.) Saying it wrong may earn you some funny looks!
