Asheville area attractions are one-of-a-kind. Visit the renowned Biltmore Estate, George Vanderbilt's 250-room Victorian chateau, complete with its own winery, greenhouse, and historic horse barn. Spend the day on the 200-acre grounds horseback riding, biking or rafting. Or simply enjoy strolling through Frederick Law Olmsteds magnificent gardens.

The Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa is the grand old lady of Southern resorts. Built in 1913, this venerable retreat has played host to F. Scott Fitzgerald, Eleanor Roosevelt, and George Gershwin, to name a few. Visitors can dine at one of the five restaurants, play a round on the Donald Ross golf course, or spend a day at the relaxing spa.

Come on down to the ballpark at McCormick field and watch the Asheville Tourists, one of the South's oldest baseball teams. Professional baseball has been a part of Asheville since 1897, and there are few other venues quite as special to enjoy a hot dog and hear the crack of the bat.

Walk the urban trail and explore the numerous works of art and architecture from the early part of the 19th century. Pop in to one of the delightful downtown pubs, gourmet restaurants, or funky coffee shops, and enjoy a drink, a bite to eat, or a spicy latte.

The Grove Arcade is a 1920? era salute to the European marketplace. Inside patrons peruse the shops and eateries in a beautiful setting, and enjoy mingling with owners and shoppers alike.
