Balsam Mountain Preserve

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — They are called the Blue Ridge Mountains, but in Asheville in the autumn, they might as well be called the orange, red and yellow.

The city of 76,000 in Western North Carolina, with its small-town, artsy feel, has become a big-time fall foliage destination, not just for the leaves but also for festivals celebrating the area’s arts culture, beer and bluegrass music. The mix of things to see and do is especially appealing for autumn travelers looking for an alternative to New England’s better-known but sometimes crowded autumn byways. Click here to read more>>

On Friday, September 24th at the Boarding House, our regular wine tasting from 6-7:00 in the evening will be hosted by Siduri Vineyards Owner, Adam Lee and followed by a five course meal paired with fine Siduri wine. Siduri produces single vineyard Pinot Noir from 20 different vineyards stretching from Santa Barbara north to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The Wine Advocate calls Siduri, “One of California’s top Pinot Noir producers,” and Wine Spectator quotes, “To Taste Siduri is to taste some of the best Pinot Noir made in America today.”

Attendance for this event, arranged exclusively for Balsam Mountain Preserve members, will be limited to 60 people. Cost is $65 per person. Please Call 828.631.1000 to RSVP.
