Harness the power of a privately owned, independent real estate network.

Our local roots o er a unique perspective on the Western North Carolina marketplace. Our global network connects you to luxury buyers in 800+ cities, generating thousands of inquiries and billions in sales each year. With over 300 luxury sales, we sold more luxury homes in Western North Carolina than the next four real estate firms combined. Let us put our experience to work for you.

Luxury Market Trends

With more inventory in the local luxury market comes more opportunity. Demand for luxury properties in Western North Carolina has eased some in 2023, likely due to the continued slow down as a result of heightened interest rates and economic uncertainty finally reaching the luxury sphere. But local buyers are enjoying the extra time for thoughtful negotiations compared to months past, when sales surged as people celebrated their “post”-pandemic freedom.

However, our market outlook remains very healthy and steady, with fresh inventory across luxury price brackets. Recent sales show there is growing interest in the mountains’ ultra-luxury echelon of $5+ million (on the national scale, ultra-luxury is more in the range of $10+ million). These wealthy buyers signal that our area holds continued investment appeal as a second and third home destination. Among the factors driving investment are the temperate weather with cooler summers and plenty of shade, our gorgeous mountain ranges

complete with a variety of outdoor activities, and our historically stable real estate market.

Nonetheless, it is important for luxury sellers to understand our local seasonal market trends and regional demand trends before deciding to list your investment. For fresh insights on the Western North Carolina real estate market, visit allentate.com/WNCMarketResearchCenter.

With deep roots in WNC, Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks offers our luxury clients unrivaled connectivity paired with elite marketing and genuine client care. Among the unique benefits of our luxury marketing are this annual publication, our international network with Luxury Portfolio International® and Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, a full-time Luxury Marketing Specialist on staff, and our bespoke Luxury Marketing Program created to service our luxury clients at the highest level. Our success is borne out by our market leadership since 1976.

Where Intellect Meets Extemporaneous

Artist Nabil El Jaouhari Connects the Dots of Self, Intent

Tucked away in the back of the Mark Bettis Gallery in the River Arts District of Asheville, Nabil El Jaouhari leans onto his work table and carefully crafts on his latest piece.

The studio is filled with plenty of natural light and a high ceiling, a view of the ancient French Broad River just outside the windows.

“No matter what you create, I’m not a believer that you can throw anything and say, ‘Oh, this is that,’” El Jaouhari said. “But, I’m a huge believer that in the mark-making aspect of art making, there’s something very much related to who you are and your experiences — we are an accumulation of these perceptions that are the results of these experiences we’ve lived in our lives.”

A rising and renowned mixed-media artist, El Jaouhari was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. After finishing his undergraduate work in his native country, El Jaouhari continued his education in France and then in the United States, where he obtained his MFA in painting and printmaking with a minor in fibers. From then, he taught art around America before landing in Asheville.

“I’m the son of a furniture maker, and he was an amazing furniture maker,” El Jaouhari said. “My parents owned land with olive trees. We lived around nature and my dad’s workshop. And that’s why my work borrows from my dad’s history — using fire and that love for nature, the woodgrain I work with, this kind of magic realism in a way.”

In this most recent chapter of his creative spirit, El Jaouhari is combining many facts of his artistic talents — painting, printmaking, wood-burning, collage, etc. The results are incredibly powerful and moving pieces with numerous themes that reside at the core foundation of who El Jaouhari is, past and present.

“I’m trying to justify my usage of wood-burning in a high-art form, because I like to borrow from low-art forms like collage and woodburning and use them in the realm of high-art,” El Jaouhari said.

The inspiration for these pieces comes from El Jaouhari taking inventory of older works from specific artistic mediums and cutting them up, only to then collage them back together. The goal is to show the essence of the human condition through the imperfections and perhaps the chaos of daily existence that connect each and every one of us on levels we may or may not understand.

“I realized that I’m actually deconstructing old memories and creating new memories,” El Jaouhari said. “And these memories, they came from another space and time, another country where my life was completely different. Now, I think about it more in the sense of conditioning, how bits and pieces are being cut and forced onto a new surface — it’s kind of the life of an immigrant, in a way.”

That exact conditioning El Jaouhari speaks of is one of constant assimilation in a new environment, one where even if he’s been in the United States for many years now, there’s still this enormous chunk of his life and identity — perhaps the biggest piece, truth be told — that will forever be linked to his formative years in Lebanon.

“I grew up on a mountain, but it was very close to the seashore,

where if you walked down the hill, you’ll be at the Mediterranean Sea,” El Jaouhari said. “And I went to school and to my dad’s workshop in the city [in war torn Beirut] — my life was between these two things, this great dichotomy.”

Looking at El Jaouhari’s work, one can see this seamless balance of analytical thought and creative impulse, where the conscious and subconscious minds meet, this gray area of purposeful intent and playful happenstance — the initial spark and bright flame that sits at the core of any great artist, regardless of medium.

“Because I come from an academic background, I’m always thinking. But, my work is definitely about transitions,” El Jaouhari said. “And it’s those transitions that I’m creating in each work, where a collage of different mediums will converge. My idea, my challenge is to actually make the piece seamless — where my intellect merges with my extemporaneous self.”

“Asheville is a beautiful reminder of where I grew up, this aesthetic reminder of the mountains [of my youth],” El Jaouhari said. “At night time here, it looks very much like where I grew up — it’s inspiring to me and my work.”

Cosmopolitan Country

Biltmore Village Restaurant a Pillar of Asheville’s Culinary Boom

Although Veronica Beltran’s title at The Red Stag Grill is food and beverage director, she also thinks of her position as something a bit more meaningful and intrinsic, in terms of the culinary experience she and her staff showcase.

“I’m the director of creating memories,” Beltran said. “We are a special occasion restaurant, and we’re part of creating a memory for that couple or family, whether it’s a busy Friday or Saturday night or Thanksgiving Day — we want you to leave with a memory you’ll never forget.”

Rustic & Refined | WNC Dining Destinations Worth the Drive

In the mood for a delicious day trip across Western North Carolina. Try out these upscale dining destinations that are worth the drive because of their scenic locations and refined culinary offerings.

Canyon Kitchen

(Sapphire, near Cashiers)

Billing itself as a “Place like no other,” Canyon Kitchen is located inside the Lonesome Valley community but open to the public. Canyon provides an exquisite dining experience featuring local foods in a sophisticated Appalachian Style.

While You’re There: Drive into Panthertown Valley for a short walk or extended hike. It’s known as the “Yosemite of the East” for its stunning views.

Canyon Kitchen.

Gamekeeper Restaurant and Bar

(Boone)

Emu, venison, elk, mountain trout and more are among the items you’ll find on the menu at the Gamekeeper Restaurant and Bar. The menu is constantly changing and provides a truly unique take on Southern cuisine that satisfies both meat and veggie lovers.

While You’re There: Don’t miss the opportunity to walk the trail around Bass Lake in Blowing Rock, part of Moses Cone Park. The lake trail — just under a mile long — is just one of the attractions in this park that is the former estate of a Winston-Salem textile magnate who was known as the “Denim King.”

The Silo Cook House and Bar at Horse Shoe Farm

(Hendersonville)

The Silo features locally sourced dishes inspired by farm life and the mountains of Western North Carolina. Seating is communal, providing patrons the opportunity to connect with old friends over dinner or perhaps make some new friends.

While You’re There: Summit Bearwallow Mountain via a moderate one-mile (each way) trail that ends at a grassy meadow. There’s a historic fire tower at the summit, which features breathtaking scenery and a 360-degree view. See downtown Hendersonville, Mt. Pisgah, Mt. Mitchell, the Hickory Nut Gorge and upstate South Carolina from the peak.

The Pisgah Inn

(Blue Ridge Parkway Milepost 408)

Nestled at a 5,000-foot elevation along the Parkway between Asheville and Waynesville, the Pisgah Inn (open April 1-Oct. 31) offers three meals a day in a restaurant with the best views around. Chefs create daily specials.

While You’re There: Well, you’re on the Parkway so everywhere you look is special. However, the highest elevation along the Parkway is 6,053 feet at the Richland Balsam Overlook at milepost 431. If you go the additional 23 miles from the Pisgah Inn, you can get a photo with the “Highest Elevation” marker in the background.

Located in the Grand Bohemian Hotel in the heart of the Biltmore Village neighborhood in Asheville, The Red Stag opened in April 2009 to much culinary fanfare that has only increased over the last 14 years in operation. Known as a “specialty steakhouse,” the property has that rich, intricate aesthetic of Old Europe in its design.

“With a focus on game meats, we take a lot of pride in our hunting lodge theme throughout the property, which is something we really embrace,” Beltran said. “We use a lot of local products and feature an array of game meats instead of your typical steakhouse menu items.”

Those unique game meats include elk, bison, and ostrich. To note, instead of the usual chicken dish at other steakhouses, The Red Stag offers a quail dish. All of which follows along with The Red Stag’s menu motto: “introducing different items that are similar, but not the same.”

“Ostrich is a very lean meat. In terms of flavor, it will be comparable to very nice filet and will pair well with a Bordeaux,” Beltran said. “And a great introduction to elk is our elk carpaccio. It’s paired with Lusty Monk mustard aioli that cuts through the tanginess of the meat, pairing nicely with a glass of pinot noir.”

Browsing the prestigious wine list at The Red Stag, Beltran puts forth meticulous detail and care into curating the selections that perfectly complement the already-renowned culinary offerings. Recently, The Red Stag was recognized with the “Award of Excellence” by Wine Spectator magazine.

“And with Asheville becoming such a culinary destination, we see all the other restaurants as partners and not competition,” Beltran said. “Yes, we may be competing for the same market, but what matters most is that we all need to be consistent in the product we each put out to people — everyone who comes here to experience our incredible restaurant scene.”

Leather Craftsmen Showcase Work Across the Country

It’s late morning, and the crafters at Axe & Awl Leatherworks have been hard at work for several hours already. Located on Depot Street in downtown Waynesville, the boutique store specializes in handmade leather products — straps to belts, bags to wallets.

The company formed by Spencer Tetrault and his wife, Courtney, has expanded rapidly since its inception in 2015. Axe & Awl has garnered national attention for its intricate, quality leather offerings, all atop a deep, sincere commitment to service and repeat customers within a core value of community engagement.

Before the jump into the artisan leather business, the Tetraults were headlong into careers in helping others. Courtney was a paramedic working in the local ER, while Spencer was a firefighter for the City of Asheville. Initially, Axe & Awl was a side hobby and source of income.

The Tetraults started creating handmade leather radio straps for firefighters and first responders. Eventually, they found themselves with an overwhelming demand for other handmade leather goods, including suspenders, masks, bags, and other items.

A year into the endeavor, Courtney left the medical field to run Axe & Awl full time. Spencer would soon follow. By October 2021, they opened a brick-and-mortar shop in the heart of Waynesville.

“Our biggest mission upon opening the store was to extend how we feel, how we work with people, our collaborations and our partnerships,” Courtney said. “And now, we’re seeing it working. People are loving the shop, and we’re partnering with others around town — we’re trying to do things right, but differently.”

Recently, the Tetraults launched the Cultivate Garden Shop further along Depot Street in the Frog Level Historic District. They partnered with another local couple, Blake and Amanda Yoder, to focus on specialized garden tools and plants atop a taproom for those looking to sit and converse about their respective green thumbs.

As far as Axe & Awl goes, the Tetraults are currently offering leather workshops for aspiring artists and hobbyists.

“The workshops have been a way for us to educate attendees about

Lately, they have held open houses with music and beverages during the popular Art After Dark celebrations, where downtown Waynesville galleries, restaurants, and cafes welcome the general public for an art walk of fellowship and connectivity. Art After Dark occurs every first Friday of the month from May through December.

“We get to meet some really interesting folks who walk through the door, especially who travel a lot and say they’ve ‘never been in a shop like this,’” Courtney said.

You witness first hand the skill set and talents of the Tetraults and their employees in the work studio behind the register. You smell the fresh leather ready to be molded into fine art for everyday use. You feel the quality and passion put forth by its creators.

Dedicated Volunteer Corps

Fuel Nonprofit’s Longevity and Success

As temperatures neared 90 degrees on a sunny afternoon in July, the forested Carolina Mountain Trail offered a shady respite for the 20 people joining Tom Southard for a 2.1-mile hike through the woods of the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville.

Southard, a volunteer with 13 years of experience leading walks at the Arboretum, stopped frequently to tell the stories of the thousands of plant species responsible for the forest’s green, damp scent and cooling shade. He extolled the unique honey made from the blossoms of sourwood trees like the crooked-trunked specimen growing alongside the trail, discussed how to tell a white oak from a red, and explained where the water goes when it flows off the property.

He also told the story of the trail itself, built 30 years ago with the help of Carolina Mountain Club volunteers.

“We’re forever grateful for that,” said Southard.

That gratitude is what led the Arboretum to host a once-in-a-lifetime event: CMC’s 100th birthday celebration. Founded on July 16, 1923, CMC has become a leader in spurring volunteerism and use of public lands. Despite being completely volunteer-based, with no paid staff or headquarters building, the group hosts four to six hikes each week and organizes ten weekly trail maintenance crews. It is responsible for maintaining nearly 450 miles of trail in the region. While there’s no exact figure as to how many miles of trail the club’s crews have built, it’s safe to say that number is in the hundreds, as well.

Widening the tent

The 100 years leading up to this celebration included a plethora of accomplishments — the preservation of Max Patch, the building of

the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, the completion of the Appalachian Trail — but also many challenges. CMC has survived the Great Depression, World War II, massive shifts in culture and communication, and the Coronavirus Pandemic.

David Huff, who serves as the club’s communication manager, believes CMC’s mix of professionalism and openness is part of its success.

“It’s run like a business in the sense that it’s so well organized, but also anybody can participate,” he said. “Everyone’s welcome. You don’t have to have any skill set to participate.”

But CMC President Tom Weaver doesn’t want to see the group rest on its proverbial laurels as it starts the journey toward year 200. He challenges members to think about what they can do to bring CMC through the next century, whether that be inviting new people to join or contributing to the club’s new endowment fund, which aims to fund CMC’s next 100 years of outreach, trail maintenance, and education.

Recognizing that its membership is less diverse than the local population, CMC has formed a new diversity and inclusion committee to increase the variety in age, race, ethnicity, and other demographics on the club’s membership rolls.

As part of those efforts, CMC is hoping to grow its partnership with Latinos Adventuros en las Carolinas, a group that organizes hikes and outdoor adventures designed to make Spanish-speaking people feel at

Reflecting on the CMC Story

If you want to go faster, go by yourself. If you want to go further, go with a group.

— Adapted from an African proverb

As CMC’s 100th birthday approached, I knew that its success and longevity was something I wanted to document. The story of CMC is the story of its people: the hikers, trail maintainers, hike schedulers, treasurers, newsletter editors, and website designers. To uncover that story, I milked the special collections of Buncombe County and the University of North Carolina Asheville, searched for the old A.T. route in the Smokies, found the private land that we used to walk on, and compared the Mountains-to-Sea Trail on the road to the current one in the woods. This project was fun, challenging, intriguing, and a heck of a lot of work. Unlike most books I’ve written, this one had a real deadline: July 16, 2023 , CMC’s 100th anniversary.

Born from a chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club formed in 1920, CMC’s story starts with its launch as an independent club in 1923, making it the oldest hiking club in the Southeast. At the beginning, the club offered one hike each week; now we have at least four to six hikes of various levels each week, year-round.

CMC built much of the Appalachian Trail in the South in the 1920s and 1930s. Myron Avery, chairman of the Appalachian Trail Conference Board in the 1930s, came down several times to inspect our section of the A.T., and CMC wanted to make a good impression. In the 1980s, the club started building the Mountainsto-Sea Trail through the Southern Blue Ridge. We are still protecting over 400 miles of trail with trail crews and section maintainers.

The club survived downturns in membership, a shutdown during World War II, the untimely deaths of famous leaders such as George Masa, Art Loeb, and Arch Nichols, and another closure

during the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020. In the 1930s, CMC had a membership of about 60; now, we’re well over 1,000.

CMC has done much more than organize hikes and build trails. We protected Max Patch from development in the 1980s, spoke out against building the North Shore Road through the most pristine part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the 2000s, and are currently partnering with the U.S. Forest Service to implement the new Pisgah-Nantahala Forest Management Plan.

The history of CMC is the history of hiking and land protection in Western North Carolina.

home. The group had a booth at CMC’s 100th birthday celebration, and its members composed about half of the 20 hikers Southard led along Carolina Mountain Trail that day.

“We didn’t only promote the event as the birthday party, but come so that you can hike,” said Vivianette Ortiz, a leader in the group.

“Where this might come naturally to some people, if you’re coming here from another country, you need guidance,” Ortiz said. “I think that it all starts with the interest to welcome the Latino community outside, and then provide information in Spanish.”

Ortiz was excited that Latinos Adventuros was invited to set up a booth at CMC’s celebration and looks forward to continuing to build a strong relationship with the club. CMC leaders are experts at organizing a hiking club and the ins and outs of caring for trails; Ortiz is eager to absorb that knowledge into Latinos Adventuros, and CMC is excited to encourage the group’s enthusiasm for stewarding the trails they’ve come to love.

“They’re out on the leading edge, getting their population out into the forest,” Weaver said. “And that’s what we’re trying to do as well.”

More trails to build

CMC has many more projects on its plate as it kicks off its second century.

Through a partnership with the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, the club will be tearing down and replacing the observation platform at Mount Pisgah, which was built in 1979.

The club is also making plans to add to its list of built trails. N.C. State Parks has reached out for input on trail design for the new Pisgah View State Park in Candler, and Weaver thinks it possible CMC could have a hand in building those trails. The club is also collaborating with the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy on trail design for the 343-acre Deaverview Mountain property overlooking Asheville. The land trust has signed an option agreement for the land and hopes to turn it into a park.

“We’re looking to put our footprint or our mark on those two projects,” Weaver said.

A new trail — and the structure to ensure it’s maintained — is perhaps the most lasting gift an organization like CMC can give its community. The Arboretum’s Carolina Mountain Trail was built three decades ago, years before Carroll Kopplinger, who at 93 is CMC’s oldest active member, joined the club in 2001. He served as sweep while Southard led, ensuring none of the 20 hikers got lost or left behind. It’s a job he was well suited for — Kopplinger knows the Arboretum trails well.

“I live near here, so a lot of times I just come out here for a 4–5-mile hike, bring my lunch, sit up on the rocking chairs in the Arboretum — just relax and sit back and realize how thankful I am,” he said. “How fortunate I am to be here and be able to hike it.”

McCormick Field Turns 100

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Coming into 2024, the Asheville Tourists minor league baseball team has plenty to celebrate. Beyond a keen focus on its storied past and a recent vote of confidence for funding from the City of Asheville, the iconic McCormick Field will also cross over the century mark.

“I’ve called over 1,500 games at [McCormick Field], and I really make it a point every day when I’m up in the press box to look out into the seating bowl, towards the outfield wall and up the mountain [the stadium is built into],” said Doug Maurer, director of broadcast and media relations. “It’s the beautiful scenery and that feeling in the ballpark when everyone is excited for the game — there really isn’t anything like it.”

As a member of the South Atlantic League, the Tourists are the High-A affiliate of the Houston Astros. And even with McCormick Field — the third-oldest ballpark in the minors — turning 100 years old, baseball has been played competitively in Asheville since 1897.

“When you come out to a ballpark, especially for a night game, you sit down in your seats and look around for a few minutes, taking it all in — you’ll get a sense real quick of the history here,” Maurer said.

The Tourists are on pace to break the single season record for average attendance in 2023, with a typical game attracting upwards of 3,000 fans. Maurer also pointed out that the Tourists have the smallest capacity of any stadium in the SAL.

“The biggest thing this season has been our increased attendance numbers. And our capacity will increase once the renovations are complete,” Maurer said. “But, to see the fans come out and support the team the way they have this year after a pretty interesting off-season has just been fantastic.”

Leading into the 2023 season, the Tourists found themselves at a crossroads. Even with steady attendance numbers and a cherished past, the entire property was in desperate need of major upgrades and renovations, many of which were required by Major League Baseball.

After tense back-and-forth negotiations and plenty of fanfare from Tourists diehards who didn’t want to see their beloved franchise leave town, the City of Asheville and Buncombe County agreed in July 2023 to fund upwards of $23 million to keep the team in Asheville.

“Some of these [needed renovations] include an improved clubhouse facility, training area, batting cages, weight room, and [other] facilities,” Maurer said. “We [also need] a new video board, additional seating, wraparound concourse, larger entrance that will help improve safety measures, and [capabilities] to live stream games on MiLB.TV.”

With the future of the Tourists now secure, the team and its front office can continue to focus on the upcoming centennial anniversary of McCormick — an opportunity to spotlight all of the legendary names that have grabbed their gloves and trotted out onto the sacred field.

“This is a ballpark where Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson laced ’em up. Ty Cobb played in the first ever game here at McCormick Field in April 1924,” Maurer said. “And so, you have that aspect, that historical sense, which is one of the things with the renovation that we’ll still be preserving — keep that historical feel of the 1920s with modern amenities.”

Beyond the iconic names associated with McCormick Field, one key area the Tourists are highlighting is the contributions of the Asheville Blues franchise. Alongside MLB’s “The Nine” initiative to honor the impact of Black pioneers in the sport, the Tourists are uplifting the Blues and its back-to-back Negro Southern League Championships in 1946 and 1947 — title banners now proudly flying onsite.

“[The Blues] put together this amazing team that was so good it won back-to-back championships and almost did it again in 1948, a year in which they won over 80 percent of their games only to lose in the finals,” Maurer said. “This was an all-star team, and at a time when they were the only team in town. The [Blues] were a big part of the stadium’s history — a big part of the city’s history.”

Maurer said he never fails to appreciate strolling into McCormick Field on game night to observe the sights and sounds of families enjoying time together.

“This is a place where people come to make lasting memories,” Maurer said.

Post-game highlights

The Tourist schedule fireworks displays several times a month after home games. Residents who live in many of the condominium complexes downtown can see the post-game pyrotechnics from their homes, while others who live in neighborhoods close to downtown such as the Town Mountain area, the South Slope, Kenilworth, and Biltmore Village can also view displays. Visit the Tourists website for the schedule.

Gateway

to Adventure

Poised along the Eastern Continental Divide, the Blue Ridge Mountains offer motorcycle riders abundant natural beauty along lightly traveled back roads, while still offering travelers a wealth of cultural and scenic delights.

This historic region has attracted explorers for centuries, even the Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto is rumored to have followed the French Broad River in the 1500s on an ill-fated quest for gold. By the 19th century, the Buncombe Turnpike, parts of which became roadways that motorcyclists can still ride today, served to connect the Lowcountry of South Carolina to the Blue Ridge Mountains and beyond to Tennessee.

Today, the explosive growth of adventure motorcycling is bringing its own brand of explorers to Western North Carolina. For many riders, their adventure begins at Eurosport Asheville, which recently moved into a new showroom in Henderson County near the Asheville Airport.

Their lineup of GS bikes from BMW and KTM — easy to ride both on- and off-road — makes them a de facto headquarters for adventure riders eager to explore the delights of mountain riding. Eurosport Asheville’s newly constructed building offers several advantages to its previous location, making it worth the short trip to nearby Mills River.

“The ride out to the building is much more enjoyable, and it makes for a good starting point for group rides with access to great roads in the area,” said Thomas Montgomery, owner of Eurosport Asheville.

While many motorcycle riders know about the famous roads here in WNC, there are hundreds more that offer beautiful scenery, twisting corners, and a wonderful riding experience for visitors. The Eurosports staff are more than willing to share a few of their favorite backroads with visiting motorcycle travelers looking for a scenic route.

Favorite WNC Rides

Here are a few scenic attractions and favorite routes (great for two-wheel adventurers and automobile enthusiasts):

Looking Glass Falls

Following N.C. 280 south from the Eurosports dealership and turning north on U.S. 276, travelers will soon find the beautiful and photogenic Looking Glass Falls. There’s ample roadside parking and a well-maintained staircase to take you to the base of the waterfall.

Saluda Grade

The small town of Saluda, with its quaint shops and eateries, is home to the steepest standard-gauge railroad line in the United States. U.S. 176 roughly parallels the tracks, taking riders through a curvy descent down the Blue Ridge Escarpment through the Pacolet River Gorge. Adventure riders can turn right at the bottom of the mountain to climb back up via dirt sections of Pearson Falls Road. For a small fee, you can visit the namesake waterfall along the riverbed.

Jump Off Rock

After visiting the numerous cafes, taprooms, and bistros along Main Street in Hendersonville, take Fifth Avenue west for about five miles. The road passes through the village of Laurel Park as it climbs the mountain to terminate in a peaceful, well-maintained park with a stunning 270-degree view of the mountains. On a clear day, you can see four states — the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee — from the overlook atop the rock.

Orchards and Vineyards

Head west from Hendersonville on U.S. 64 and you enter apple country. Hundreds of acres of apple trees make Henderson County one of the nation’s top apple producers. A maze of crisscrossing roads through the orchards is a great way to leisurely tour the area. These days, several acres have been turned over to the production of grapes for the thriving new agritourism attractions of cideries and wineries. Burntshirt Vineyards, St. Paul Mountain Vineyards, and Point Lookout Vineyards are just quick detours from the main road. If you make the twisty climb up Gilliam Mountain Road to Point Lookout, you’ll be rewarded with a mountaintop tasting room with removable walls and stunning vistas. A quick detour on Bald Rock Road takes you to a smooth roadside cliff face polished by a slow current of spring water.

Chimney Rock

Continuing east on U.S. 64 brings you the Eastern Continental Divide, where you begin your drop into the Hickory Nut Gorge. The walls of the mountains narrow on each side and you follow a tributary of the Broad River downhill to join U.S. 74A. A few miles south alongside a boulderstrewn river brings you to Chimney Rock State Park in neighboring Rutherford County. The park entrance is surrounded by souvenir shops and a few restaurants. The view from the ancient granite monolith is worth the price of admission to the park and will make a stunning photo to document your motorcycle trip.

A part of the riding community

Dupont State Forest

West of town on U.S. 64 will take you to DuPont State Forest where hiking trails and waterfalls await visitors. A gravel parking area with restrooms and visitors center is not far from the path leading to the picturesque Triple Falls. The 10,000-acre park features miles of trails exploring hidden lakes, waterfalls, and fishing spots.

Flat Rock Playhouse

If you’re looking for entertainment after a day of riding, the state theater of North Carolina is just a few miles south on U.S. 225. Broadway-style shows have entertained visitors for decades at this rustic theater. Just across the street, the Carl Sandburg home, a national historic site, offers tours of the late poet laureate’s farm named Connemara. The “poet of the people” penned nearly a third of his literary work at this charming farmhouse.

Pisgah National Forest

Adventure riders will enjoy taking the forest service roads across the mountains that begin in the North Mills River Recreational Area. Head west from N.C. 280 on North Mills River Road to enter the Pisgah National Forest. The road turns to gravel just past the campground and becomes Yellow Gap Road, which parallels the Blue Ridge Parkway through the forest and eventually joins U.S. 276 not far from Looking Glass Falls. You can also choose to head north when you enter the Mills River Campground on another forest service road to join the parkway near Bent Creek or continue onward to Lake Powhatan near Asheville.

Eurosport Asheville has a long history of supporting local charities and good causes in the region. One of its most successful examples is the annual Tail Chaser 250.

The Tail Chaser is an epic ride-at-your-own-pace dual sport adventure ride over 250 kilometers of the best scenic paved and dirt roads in Western North Carolina. Eurosport’s support of the Tail Chaser raised thousands of dollars in 2023 for the Cindy Platt Boys and Girls Club of Transylvania County.

The Cindy Platt Boys and Girls Club offers after-school enrichment and all-day summer programming for children most in need of such services. Its mission is to promote “academic success, good character and citizenship, the arts, and health and wellness.” The boys and girls club is housed on a rural campus near downtown Brevard.

Rider clubs like the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America or the BMW Riders Association often work with Eurosport Asheville when organizing area rallies and events in the area for various charities. The dealership sees itself as part of a motorcycling family and works to create the best experience for all WNC motorcycle enthusiasts.

Simply Delicious Savor Tantalizing Tacos and Tequila Delights in Saluda

For 25 years, The Purple Onion on Main Street in Saluda has remained a pillar of the renowned, bustling Western North Carolina culinary scene.

Focused on fresh, local produce and meats, the farm-to-table establishment is a beacon of food and fellowship — both key traits behind the restaurant’s latest endeavor, The S.P.O.T.

“The most important thing to us is this community and the love we have for this community,” said Emily Lamar, co-owner of The Purple Onion and The S.P.O.T.

Alongside her business partner, Chambli Stuber, Lamar is the current torchbearer of not only The Purple Onion, but its brand-new counterpart also on Main Street, The S.P.O.T. (aka: Saluda Purple Onion Taqueria).

“I was born and raised here, and Chambli has been here since she was 12 years old — this is where we grew up,” Lamar said. “So, one of the things we want to make sure happens is that this thrives — this community, this town, this Main Street.”

The duo took over The Purple Onion in 2020 from Lamar’s mother, Susan. With Emily now behind the helm, Stuber is the executive chef and mixologist for both locations. With The S.P.O.T., it was about complementing what was already in Saluda, to find whatever niche had yet to be filled in the tiny mountain town.

“We obviously don’t want to compete without ourselves [at The Purple Onion]. But, we wanted to do something fun, somewhere we want to eat and drink — and who doesn’t love tequila and tacos?” Lamar chuckled.

Opened in 2022, The S.P.O.T was sparked during the COVID shutdown in 2020. With restaurants closed nationwide during the pandemic, Lamar and Stuber started having small family get-togethers. A big taco bar would be offered and delicious tequila drinks were also mixed up and served through curious experimentation.

“We just started talking and thought, ‘You know what this town needs? We need a place to go eat tacos,’” Lamar said. “Eventually, a building on Main Street became available, and we jumped on the opportunity. We’d figure it out — what we wanted to serve, what we wanted to look like.”

Located on East Main Street, the tiny structure is cozy and welcoming, offering a genuine come-as-you-are vibe of camaraderie and culinary treats. Alongside the normal selections found behind the bar in any taqueria, there’s an array of high-end tequilas available, all atop the usual bevy of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and other options.

“We’re doing the same thing at The S.P.O.T. that we’re doing at The Purple Onion, with ‘healthy and different’ being our inspiration,” Stuber said. “And a lot of our produce comes from local farms — it’s all about fresh flavors in each dish.”

With the spotlight shining brightly on tequila and its distinct flavor profiles, Stuber looks at The S.P.O.T. as her own blank canvas to come up with and implement intricate, yet approachable, recipes and concoctions.

“With margaritas, everyone kind of just assumes you make them with lime and salt,” Stuber said. “But, I like to play around with different tequilas, learning about each one and doing things like using coconut water instead of coconut milk to make it lighter, using honey instead of simple syrup for certain pairings.”

Beyond the house tequila and mainstream brands, there are several marquee names on the shelves at The S.P.O.T. Stuber points to the likes of Cincoro and Adictivo. Both are premier liquors, with Cincoro being co-owned by NBA legend and UNCChapel Hill alumnus Michael Jordan.

“Cincoro is very smooth, with a little bit of vanilla on it,” Stuber said. “And being more of a reposado or añejo tequila drinker, I like those flavor profiles with smoky vanilla notes.”

Looking at the food menu, Stuber has one key motto — “keep it bright, keep it simple.”

“For us, it’s keeping the ingredients local, keeping it fresh, and letting the ingredients speak for themselves — it’s my same approach to cooking as it is to our drinks,” Stuber said. “And for our aesthetic and style, I like making something that only has five ingredients, but those five ingredients are done really well.”

For Stuber, The S.P.O.T. is another full circle moment in her ongoing culinary journey, one where she remembers being 14 years old and washing dishes at The Purple Onion, only to work her way up the ladder to becoming co-owner and executive chef/mixologist.

“And now, to have a place like The S.P.O.T., something that Emily and I started ourselves? Well, that’s a big deal to us,” Stuber said. “We really care about this town — we choose to be here.”

Tequila’s Moment is Now

So what’s fueling tequila’s growing popularity?

According to one distiller, it’s a mix of factors. The U.S. has developed a more refined palate, with more drinkers exploring authentic flavors and premium spirits. Tequila’s rich heritage is also a factor, along with its versatility in cocktails and a sprinkle of celebrity endorsements.

The margarita is the most popular cocktail sold in U.S. bars, according to CGA by Nielsen, which compiles alcohol consumption trends throughout the country. Tequila drinks overall, however, are catching up with vodka, which is the most popular spirit sold in U.S. bars, says Nielsen.

In 2022, mezcal sales increased by 17.2%, the fastest growth among any spirit in the U.S.

Celebrity tequila brands include George Clooney’s Casamigos, Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s partnership with Teremana Tequila. A growing stable of celebrities have joined this movement, endorsing their own brands in recent years, further cementing tequila’s presence in the spotlight.
