✨ We had a beautiful day today at Point Lookout Vineyards having a nice cozy wine tasting experience. We got to meet thr owners Grandma Mimi and Micheal who curated the best mix of guided tasting, history of their family line, all the grape varieties and how they are influenced by the mountains, and the wine making process. Sure is a gorgeous vineyard even in the middle of winter... especially with each other by the cozy fire. What a treat!

We have 2 more events this year with a few more open spots to the Winter Lights and the Vienna Light Orchestra. These events are accessible and my bus is too! Check out my website at www.blueridgeelderadventures.com if you're interested in signing up yourself or a loved one. Reach out if you have any questions. This will be it for the year until Spring. We always have a lot of fun and it's been real sweet watching this community grow. 💜

So exciting to see some of our favorite destinations reopening after Helene!

: has officially reopened as of Sept. 15, 2025 — just in time for leaf season! 🍂 Thanks to major recovery efforts after Hurricane Helene, visitors can once again enjoy the breathtaking views from the highest peak east of the Mississippi.

The reopening comes as the Blue Ridge Parkway reopens from Asheville (milepost 382) to just past the park entrance at milepost 355.3. The Parkway remains closed north of the park toward Little Switzerland, so visitors must access from the Asheville side. Be sure to fuel up before your trip — it’s a 70-mile round drive with no gas stations nearby.

Most trails in the park are open, though some remain closed in Pisgah National Forest. The restaurant and tent campsites are still closed, but the concession stand will be open on weekends and the gift shop is expected to open soon.

Plan ahead and check the latest updates on the NC State Parks blog: https://bit.ly/4n8fNLE
