Nestled at 4,000 feet in Nantahala National Forest, you will find one of the best small towns in the south, Highlands, North Carolina. A charming mountain town where outdoor adventurers come to explore, surrounded by the peaks and valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are known for many things, from the spectacular cascading waterfalls to the annual Highlands Food and Wine Festival that attracts thousands of foodies throughout the southeast. This popular culinary event returns November 10-13 for four days of exquisite wine, mouthwatering food, and world-class music.
Whether you are looking for a place to stay for the event or have stumbled upon the festival for the first time, Highlands Vacation Rentals has you covered! We are incredibly excited to present one of the signature events at the festival this year: A Generous Pour. And when you need a place to stay, choose from over 90 vacation rentals on the Highlands and Cashiers plateau with Highlands Vacation Rentals.
