Asheville has been ranked as one of the top designations in the world to visit in 2018 by Forbes, and number one on the list of “New Top Cities for Wine in the United States” by The Travel Channel. As a culinary weekend of food, drink and fun, the Asheville Wine & Food Festival was named a Top 20 Event by Southeast Tourism Society. For ten years, the festival has given its participants the opportunity to savor the mountains like never before... and Cocktail Week has grown to become one of the largest cocktail and distilling events in the southeast, creating a week long party. The development of both events, and evolution of the upcoming wildly popular Cocktail Week celebrates the unique vibe that Asheville, NC has to offer.
