Food scene
Great Italian food! They can have a long wait for a table, but they do not take reservations. We recommend calling first to check their wait time before you make the trip out! But it is definitely worth the wait!

Sierra Nevada is a working brewery, so you can tour this, and also have a drink or some food. They also have lots of outdoor seating on their lawn with occasional music and games. Very family friendly as well.

Literally a CHOCOLATE LOUNGE. Need I say more?! They are also very allergy friendly, so I’m sure they could have something to fit your dietary needs. This place is so busy that on weekends, they typically have a line out the door with a bouncer! Pro tip: if the line is too long for you, pop your head around the corner on the left side of the building, and they have a separate entrance that has some limited options that rarely has a line at all.

Whitewater rafting down the French Broad River. The guides are wonderful, and you can either book a half day of rafting, or a full day that includes lunch.

Biltmore Estate
Even if you purchase tickets online before your trip, you also have to reserve a time to enter the Biltmore House. You can do this by checking in at Guest Services when you arrive at the Biltmore Estate, or by calling ahead of time so you don’t have to wait for your tour.
