WNC Cheese Trail
In addition to hosting the annual Carolina Mountain Cheese Fest, the WNC Cheese Trail non-profit has created an interactive map of places to sample local cheeses and wine in the North Carolina mountains. Take a day trip along the WNC Cheese Trail and sample freshly-made cheeses that are truly a one-of-a- kind experience.
For rustic charm, visit the Looking Glass Creamery in Columbus, North Carolina. Located right by a beautiful sunflower field, this creamery is home to a restaurant where guests can enjoy their cheeses.
The family-owned FernCrest Winery, located in Cherokee County, also has a tasting room in Andrews, North Carolina. Here, they serve their award-winning wines and a selection of specialty cheeses from Ashe County Cheese.
