The city of Asheville has one of the best wine scenes in the United States. With the abundance of wine opportunities, there is a wide selection of delicious wine that every wine drinker can appreciate. 

One of the many reasons Asheville produces top-quality wine is how the local winemakers attribute the area's natural resources and climate. The rich Appalachian soil is great for vineyards, and the perfect temperatures contribute to the growth of the grapes that are above or equal to similar wine from California and Europe. 

There are nearly 60 wineries in the mountains of Western North Carolina, including family-owned farms and household names. Here are a few top wineries in the Asheville area.
