Incredible latin-fusion with an eclectic feel. Try the lobster nachos and ceviche- also a margarita is a must (spicy if that’s your thing).

Brewery
Closest local brewery just down the road which was started by graduates of Warren Wilson College- that small school you most likely passed on the way in. Next to Pisgah is another Warren Wilson alum founded distillery called Oak and Grist. See in Bars.

Definitely a "tourist-y" spot, but even as locals we sometimes brave the crowds and lines because their beer really is some of the best we've ever had. Good food too!

The highest peak of the Appalachian Mountains! Takes a little over an hour to drive to the top on the gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway. From there, you can check out the incredible views and hike multiple trails up there. The parkway closes during parts of the winter if there is snow or ice.

You pass the sign for this park at the intersection of Warren Wilson Rd and Bee Tree Rd 5 min from here. There is a pretty pond and a nice easy loop. At the backside of the loop you can connect to the Warren Wilson trails that run along the Swannanoa River.
