What Our Tight-Knit Community Is Saying

Great Writing, Thorough Suggestions, And Lots Of Love

I moved to Asheville almost 2 years ago and Uncorked Asheville has made my journey so fun! It’s one of the only emails in my in-box that I look forward to getting! It has been especially helpful when planning weekend getaways or when hosting out-of-towners. Great writing, thorough suggestions, and lots of love = A+ content.

Lovely Community Of Caring Folks

I LOVE, LOVE Uncorked Asheville as a tourist, and now as a local. We vacationed in this area for 15 years before relocating here last year. The Uncorked Asheville blog and newsletters were and are my go to for ideas, resources, and great information. I also use the Facebook group regularly now that I live here. It has helped me find vets, doctors, hair salons and all the things. It is a lovely community of caring folks who love this area as much as we do. One day, I will spot Christine and Tom in the wilds if Asheville and then it will really feel like home! Thanks for all the hard work !

Best Blog Ever

I just came across your blog today and just wanted to say THANK YOU! I just booked an Airbnb for the week of Christmas in Asheville and was looking for things to do. I just sent my boyfriend a text saying, ‘We don’t need to spend any time doing research on Asheville because I just found THE BEST blog ever on everything to do up there!’

Christine and Tom publish the most consistent newsletter and accompanying Facebook group in all of Western NC. It is engaging, informative, and Christine even offers direct messaging if you have a one-off. I look forward to reading everything they do!

Great Resource

I’m always on the lookout for information and suggestions about what to do and where to go in and around the Asheville area. Asheville Uncorked is a great resource. Lots of information and insight provided in a friendly and enticing manner. I look forward to what new restaurants, events and locations I may find out about from Uncorked Asheville.

Interesting Restaurants & New Trends

We found Uncorked Asheville on Facebook before we moved to town three years ago, and used the Facebook page and website to help us find interesting restaurants to go to. I love the way Christine writes reviews, it’s like you’re listening to one of your friends. She doesn’t rave about everything just to make an owner or small business happy, she has no problem telling you that something was just “fine”, and I think that’s great! We continue to reference her website and posts for highlights on events or new openings in town. Christine and Tom always seem to on top of new trends before we’ve even heard of something going on or a new place opening. We enjoy the newsletter too, I was just taking notes on the Catawba Falls updates and hints that Christine wrote about. We are lucky to have Christine and Tom writing about our favorite city!

Who Is Uncorked Asheville?

Cheers! I’m Christine.

After falling in love with those gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains – including crocheted flying pigs on lamp posts, cascading waterfalls, and lit cocktails in used bookstores – my husband Tom and I decided to call Asheville, North Carolina our home. When my pointy Italian nose isn’t stuck in a book, I’m adopting all of the kitties, getting lost in the forest, and drinking an ESB.
