We thought this place would be over-the-top expensive but it’s not - especially for the area. Make reservations far in advance - they fill up. Food and service were outstanding!

Super nice people who offer an hour long session about Old and New World wine making. (Please call ahead to reserve) Or, there are tasting machines where you can sample around 12-15 different wines for $20 (As of this 2020 writing) at any time. Just slightly over 2 miles from the cottage on the edge of downtown.

Fishing

The Cullasaja River makes its way through Highlands to the Cullasaja Gorge and into the Little Tennessee River in Franklin, North Carolina. It takes about 30 minutes to get to some very scenic fishing spots.

The Tuckaseigee River is ideal for catching trout and is one of the most popular places for fly fishing. It is accessible and shallow enough in most places for wading. Several upstream lakes run into the river. Fantastic fishing locations are only about 30 minutes from Highlands. The river is heavily stocked, but this area calls for smart fishing.
