This is an expensive option but if you are into Downton Abbey or the like it's well worth the splurge to see that incredible architectural feat that The Biltmore is. There are also lots of trails and gardens to explore outside if you visit.

Oh! If you love books and wine, then this is your spot! Peruse the stacks and stacks of used books while you wander around the maze and drink wine. A nice quiet thing to do in the evening.

We love this teahouse. There is also one located downtown and it's just as lovely. The West Asheville spot has more food items to choose from but the tea in both spots is incredible. A lovely place for a quiet, relaxing date.
