Located just 63 miles from Trillium sits Asheville, the largest city in western North Carolina. Asheville is that type of unique, special place that lingers sweetly in your mind and memories for years to come. The city’s rich architectural legacy with its mix of Art Deco, Beaux Arts and Neoclassical styles is the perfect retro-urban backdrop to the edgy energy that emanates from the locally owned shops and art galleries, distinctive restaurants and exciting entertainment venues. Known as an art colony, a healing resort and a home to luminaries, statesmen, and bohemians, Asheville is one of the most welcoming, vibrant cities in America.

Asheville features a funky and eclectic downtown, 30-plus art galleries, a burgeoning culinary scene, a thriving live music scene and, of course, the awe-inspiring back drop of the Appalachian Mountains. In addition to the arts and crafts attractions, there is a wide diversity of outdoor adventures creating the ideal day trip for Trillium’s members and guests. While visiting, be sure to check out The Biltmore Estate and Winery and the jaw dropping scenery of The Blue Ridge Parkway. And a visit to Asheville is not complete until you’ve enjoyed a trip to the ballpark for one of the Asheville Tourists minor league baseball games.

The Asheville Regional Airport provides convenient access to western North Carolina and to many cities throughout the country via AirTran, American, Continental, Delta, US Airways and United Airlines.
