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.

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.
