Cozy Up to Winter in Asheville

When the bustle of summer and the color-rush of fall fade, Asheville slips into something soft and serene. Winter is quietly the best time to visit—fewer crowds, cozy cafés, open trails and blankets of crisp mountain air invite you to explore the city at your own pace. Take in stunning long-range views on winter hikes, enjoy a show at The Orange Peel or other top Asheville music venues, dine at award-winning Asheville restaurants with fewer crowds, and enjoy the best rates of the year with last-minute travel deals on local hotels and mountain cabin rentals. Cozy up to a romantic weekend getaway at an Asheville bed and breakfast, or bring the kids along for an affordable family road trip. Don’t forget your Biltmore Estate tickets for a chance to see America’s Largest Home, and be sure to check our calendar of events for upcoming winter festivals, theater performances and live music throughout the season.
