- 1 Vineyard
- 1 space at this venue
Few event venues carry the kind of lived-in history that makes a celebration feel genuinely special. Klondike Cabins is one of them. Nestled on 100 acres in State Road, North Carolina, the property began in the early 1920s when John Hanes of Hanes Hosiery built the first cabin as a family retreat. His brother-in-law Thurmond Chatham later joined him in developing a working estate where prize Golden Guernsey cattle grazed, polo ponies were bred, and the dairy was known for producing what the families called "the best chocolate milk in the world." The cabins still hold the artifacts of those years: Chatham blankets, wood-burning fireplaces, antique firearms, and taxidermy gathered on the property itself. Today, Klondike Cabins welcomes weddings and private gatherings for 10 to 500 guests, with 42 acres of walking grounds and gardens for ceremonies and receptions under an open sky. The Lodge (the largest of the four restored cabins) serves as the central gathering place, with a full dining room and comfortable common spaces. A 2-acre fishing pond, sweeping views across 60 acres of neighboring vineyard, and the constant backdrop of deer, wild turkeys, and native wildlife make every event here feel like an escape that guests won't soon forget.

Its South Slope taproom, at 32 Banks Avenue in the heart of Asheville's craft-beer district, pours the brewery's approachable flagships alongside the small-batch, community-inspired beers Catawba is known for. The taproom is deliberately unpretentious — a come-as-you-are spot built around good beer, good people, and good times. Guests are welcome to bring the family and the dog, settle in with a board game, catch some live music, or simply relax over a pour from the tap wall. That easygoing setting lends itself to gatherings of all kinds, and the brewery welcomes inquiries for private events as well as music bookings.
