With one of the longest and most vibrant leaf seasons, Asheville really puts on a show in the fall! Besides the mountain’s views, there are iconic trails, family friendly orchards & farms, and the unique art scene! Below is a list of fall events, festivals, activities, and tastings, making it easy for you to ‘Fall in love with Asheville’.


Fall in Love with Farms & Orchards

Jeter Mountain Farm Apple Orchard| 1126 Jeter Mountain Road Hendersonville, NC | Thursday-Friday 10a.m. – 3p.m. | While it is a little bit out of the way, this U-pick apple farm is truly the perfect fall experience, additionally they have a farmers’ market, fresh apple cider and apple cider donuts.

Darnell Farms| 2300 Governors Island Rd. Bryson City, NC | Monday-Sunday | A hayride, visit to the pumpkin patch, and homemade jams, drinks, jellies, the ideal fall farm experience!

The Haunted Farm| 624 Townsend Rd. Hendersonville, NC | Tickets available at nchauntedfarm.com | If you dare, you’ll experience fear & fun as you take a self-guided and self-paced walk through the terrifying farm of terror! Do you have what it takes to survive?

Fall in Love with Trails

Beacon Heights Trail| This quick little .8-mile (round trip) hike has big rewards! It features a lookout with a great view of grandfather mountain and due to the high elevation, tends to see fall color early in the season.

Biltmore Estate Trails| Did you know Biltmore has 22 miles of hiking trails? A favorite of our Asheville experience leader Angelica’s is the trail to the Lagoon – a perfect picnic spot that provides a striking view of the west side of Biltmore House. Mid-to-late fall is a colorful time to hike the trails here.

Cataloochee Trails| Enjoy the historic churches and cabins as you stroll the trails in Cataloochee, however, the real view is the elk! Cataloochee is home to a large elk population and to experience them in person is surreal!

Fall in Love with Vineyards & Restaurants

Summit Coffee |4 Foundy St #20, Asheville, NC| Monday-Sunday| If you are looking for the best PSL (pumpkin spice latte), Summit Coffee is the place to visit! They have an artsy, friendly environment and 2 locations in Asheville!

Addison Farms Vineyard| 4005 New Leicester Hwy, Leicester, NC | Thursday-Sunday | Enjoy views of the Blue Ridge mountains as you sip wine from this family owned and operated vineyard!
