Awesome Asheville
Southern Living, Jul 2006 by Thompson, Annette
Visit this North Carolina town for fine shopping and dining and the legendary Biltmpre Estate.
Treat yourself with a trip to one of the South's coolest cities this summer. Asheville blossoms with hip shops and galleries, satisfying eateries, and the grandest estate in America. Get out your walking shoes, and explore this ultimate weekend destination.
The Biltmore Way
The grounds sparkle with colorful blossoms this month at the historic Biltmore Estate. Even if you've toured before, be sure to try the two new indepth tours that escort guests into unrestored areas and up to the roof for bird's-eye views of the 250-room château ($45 weekend general admission, $15 behind-the-scene tours).

Asheville is synonymous with fine arts and crafts. The contemporary Blue Spiral 1 may look like a big-city museum, but it's actually an affordable gallery, featuring exquisite paintings and sculptures. Walk a few doors down to American Folk Art & Framing, the best place for woodfired pots by Daniel Johnston, a modern Seagrove potter.
Visit Grovewood Gallery, near the grounds of The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa, for stoneware, handmade furniture, jewelry, glass, and fiber works. We like the selection of face jugs and walking sticks at downtown's Appalachian Craft Center.
Take a side trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Folk Art Center, which sells pieces by more than 300 members of the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
