We’re visiting some old friends and a super cool new destination in Asheville. You might remember a previous episode of the show when we took a trip to Cultivated Cocktails Downtown Shop and Tasting Lounge. Well, we’re back – this time to check out their latest endeavor. Welcome to Cultivated Cocktails Distillery and Tavern.

Located in East Asheville in a converted garage that used to work on classic cars, we find this swanky escape filled with food, fun, and frivolity. The spirits here are created right across the street and feature a diverse and delicious lineup of some of my absolute favorites.

One of their more popular drinks is their rum old fashioned. Their mixologists craft some of the best drinks you’ll find anywhere. And while you’re here you can purchase everything you need to make it at home.

But don’t go rushing out quite yet. There is still much to explore – including fun and games, excellent merch to check out, and oh yeah… the food.

While the drinks do tend to steal the show at a place called Cultivated Cocktails the food is not to be missed.

The folks here want others to experience the essence of Asheville. This is a town known for its craft beverage scene, and Cultivated Cocktails is proud to be a part of that legacy. They invite you to come out for a good time and be a part of Western North Carolina’s comeback story as they work alongside countless others to bring local businesses back after Helene.

And what a fun and meaningful way to support local. If you’re thinking of Christmas gifts, shopping at Western North Carolina businesses like Cultivated Cocktails is a fantastic way to give your loved ones something totally original with superior quality, and at the same time help these small businesses continue to do what they love – make great stuff for all of us!

So, support local. And get a great drink at a great destination – and visit Cultivated Cocktails.
