As Dean likes to say, SN is like Disney World for beer drinkers! It is HUGE and the wait for a table (excellent bar food) is usually long but you won't mind- really! Go for a self-guided or guided tour, listen to live music, place some bocce and of course sample some beer. Definitely worth the drive from Asheville- and a GREAT place to stop after hiking in Dupont Forest or up Pisgah!
