Adventurous foodies and dedicated wine connoisseurs will appreciate this unique mountain festival. The 2nd annual Highlands Culinary Weekend will highlight local and guest chefs, wine sellers and town retailers during this four day celebration, November 13-16 in Highlands, NC.
Smartly, the weekend activities are offered a la carte, so you may choose – and pay for – only what is of interest. However, one needs to plan their event choices and accommodations early as space is limited on both fronts. For more information, call 866.526.5841.

For a fall retreat, escape to the Inn at Half Mile Farm in Highlands, North Carolina. This luxury B&B – about a mile, as the crow flies, from Highlands’ picturesque town center – is hidden down just enough windy roads to give the place a sense of privacy and seclusion without inspiring that middle-of-nowhere feeling. In addition to the inn’s well-appointed rooms (many with stone fireplaces and private balconies), Half Mile Farm offers cabins for families and larger groups as well. Included in the price of lodging are a gourmet breakfast and late afternoon hors d’oeurves with choice wines.
MORE – While in Highlands, reserve a table at On The Veranda restaurant and winebar for dinner. As the name suggests, the view is a perfect complement to their American fusion menu and award-winning wine list.
