Eats
Finally! An Asheville Attraction that involves Eating: Asheville Food Tours just started recently and it is a year-round activity, even during January & February when people are looking for things to do. Tours are 2 to 2 1/2 hours long and involve a handful of restaurants in Biltmore Village and downtown Asheville. Most tours are mid-week, but there is a Saturday tour as well. All tours begin at 2 pm and you WILL be full by the end. Definitely check out the Asheville Food Tours website for more information. Leslie is happy to make reservations for you.
Leslie also recommends checking out the Asheville Independent Restaurant Association (AIR)
Some of my favorite restaurants include:
Nine Mile – Carribean-style cuisine
828-505-3121
13 miles from Blake House, but totally worth the drive. If you are already in downtown Asheville, it’s just across I-240 in the Historic Montford District.
