Map

This Google Map contains a list of: restaurants, breweries, and special interests in Asheville.

White Duck Tacos 🌮
Our first restaurant is White Duck Tacos. We got the Crispy Pork Belly, Black Bean Taco, Bangkok Shrimp, Lamb Gyro, and Tika Taco. I really loved the Crispy Pork Belly. The Lamb Gyro tasted like Gyro on a taco and Tika Taco is not bad. The wifey was disappointed with her veggie food :(

Burial Beer 🍻
After dinner, we walked to the brewery Burial Beer. I recall enjoying the Cocoa Bolo from my last visit. It's not as great as I remember this time around. However, I got the Fabrications of the Nonbeliever and that tasted like Dragon's Milk. Really rich and delicious, 15% alcohol content. They have food options here as well.

Holes 🍩
We love doughnuts, so we checked out Holes Doughnuts. Fresh out of the fryer, it's decent. I think it tasted better given a couple of hours later. The texture is soft and chewy. Toasted Almond Sesame Cinnamon has a very interesting flavor!

Biltmore 🏰
For those of you who know about Cornelius Vanderbilt, Biltmore, this is where is wealth lies. To finish touring the entire estate, I recommend investing from morning to evening since there is much to explore which includes: Biltmore House (castle), gardens, farms, wine, and history.

The ticket is under $100/person, but the tour books out pretty fast! I recommend booking the ticket in advance for more time options since the house and wine tours (both included) are on a scheduled basis. I recommend scheduling the Biltmore House tour for the morning and the wine tour in the evening, or vice versa. The House and the Winery are about a 30-minute drive apart. So - tour the House, check out gardens, hike the ~1-hour trail, and then drive over to the winery area to check off the wine tour, farm, and the history museum.

I probably should have taken better photos, especially inside the Biltmore House. It was just too interesting to focus on taking pictures!

Biltmore Garden entrance.

Art District 🧑🏽‍🎨🖼
Asheville has a great Art District. We probably toured about 3/4 of the area. Most of it was bland. I stopped by one store and found had a really nice painting, but cost ~$7,500 💰💰 because it takes about 1 month to finish.

The Wedding 💍
The Motyka's! Great wedding! Awesome live band! Amazing BBQ food! Open bar and great beer selection!

I shall present... The bride and the groom 👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️!

I'm a horrible wedding photographer 😅. Here is their first dance!

Newman, bride/groom, and me 🤪!
