We stayed on the main floor since the host seated us there, but later realized you can order at the bar and take your drinks up to the rooftop--something I wish we knew earlier. The bartenders were pleasant and laid-back, not pretentious at all. The cocktails were inventive and well-crafted. I went with the Coffee Date and Lord of Misrule--pretty good--but in hindsight, I wish I had tried more of their Fever-Tree and Chemist collaborations, which sounded especially interesting.

Trivia: a person who makes or sells wines is called a ?…read more I was super impressed with the selection. Less impressed with the service. Instead of a kind welcome or "can we help you find anything?" I got the "this guy looks shady" look. When I asked if they had any cardamom bitters, there was a notable difference in their demeanor. I guess shady characters don't ask about cardamom? I don't know. Super cool and eclectic area to grab some really cool brews with some friends. The name doesn't fully encompass their offerings.

I was so pleasantly surprised to find excellent selection, excellent service, and a spacious, inviting store at Appalachian Vintner. . .I could not have asked for a better experience. I enjoyed listening to the local NPR station as I browsed their beers, segregated into regions like "East Coast" or "West Coast" and they had plenty of ciders I'd never seen in Tennessee. If you get a chance to stop in, give yourself plenty of time for browsing.

I feel like I'm missing out on this whole other world; but, I don't like beer, not even a little. So save me Asheville Wine Market! This shop is cute, larger than it seems from outside, and right on Biltmore Avenue. There's a large selection and wines are sectioned by region. Today I'm feeling I must go with something from North Carolina, and those are featured right up front. This doesn't limit me to sweet wine! I find a Cabernet Franc by jones van drehle and it's fantastic! There is a cooler in the back with some whites and rosé and....beer! So something for everyone, but emphasis on wine so I'm happy. The staff here was helpful and easy going. I will definitely return when staying in Asheville.

Not everyone would think to go to a grocery store for a sandwich but I'm glad I did. They have a…read moredaily special where you can purchase a full sub for only $8 and change so of course that's what I got. I wanted wheat bread but they were out so I went with the regular white. No biggie. With that I got a tuna sub with lettuce, tomato, onion, peppers and salt and pepper. Delicious and the sandwich was HUGE. MUCH better than Subway. I have to point out; when I get a sandwich I usually get green peppers but they had mixed colors for their peppers. I made a comment of how I only get the green ones but that the mixed is fine; the guy grabs a handful and this sweet man picks out just the green peppers for my sandwich. He didn't have to do that and I was so very thankful. Huge plus for just that. Shows he actually cares and I love that! Wish I got his name. But sir, if you see this, THANK YOU!! You made my day with that small gesture. I walked around the store and stumbled upon the Snyders pretzel pieces and they were on sale 2/$5. I hadn't had those in forever so of course I bought two bags. The sour cream and caramelized onion flavor.....SO GOOD!!!!!! Will 100% go back if I'm ever in the area. I need to try more subs!

I sat at the bar, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and wonderful. They had fantastic live music from a local acoustic guitar player whose selection was absolutely perfect for relaxing with a drink. They feature a full bar, an extensive beer selection, and a few frozen cocktails. They even had a special margarita menu during my visit! I highly recommend checking out their frozen drinks, the pickle martini (or the shot version), and the French 75.

He had been to the winery and France and happened to love their champagne! It was my first time visiting and the staff was beyond helpful. I'm a little sad I don't live in Asheville so I can frequent their shop regularly but I will be back the next time I'm in town. It was so lovely and full of delicious, off the beaten path wine!
