Fairview

Enjoy a quieter side of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the picturesque farming community of Fairview, North Carolina. Located just a few minutes southeast of downtown Asheville, Fairview is surrounded by rolling pastoral hills, serene mountaintops and a strong community of creators, farmers and growing entrepreneurs with a collective appreciation of the area’s rich land and agricultural heritage. 

Fairview offers an eclectic mix of breweries, cideries, coffee shops and restaurants with a focus on locally sourced quality ingredients. Families can immerse themselves in local agriculture at Hickory Nut Gap Farm or hop aboard a train-themed brewery at Whistle Hop Brewing, which features a sprawling outdoor space packed full of games and entertainment. Learn the craft of cheesemaking on the WNC Cheese Trail or pack a picnic for a family-friendly hike to top of Bearwallow Mountain.

Fairview businesses are reopening in stages and pockets post-Hurricane Helene.
