Sugar Grove is a beautiful, picturesque rural village area of Watauga County. It's only a short drive from Boone and Blowing Rock, and offers a real feel for the peaceful, pastoral outlying areas that make the High Country such a spectacular, singular setting.

Home of Appalachian State University, one of the most sought after campuses in the University of North Carolina system, Boone is more than a "cool" college town. It has emerged as the hub of commerce in the North Carolina High Country. Local attractions such as Grandfather Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad, and the long-popular, mid-summer heritage drama Horn in the West draw visitors nationwide. Boone and surrounding communities provide some of the most spectacular natural settings in Eastern America. The Blue Ridge Parkway anchors those offerings as the most popular unit of the national park system. All of those distinctions reflect a vibrant community where the focus is decidedly on local arts and agriculture, the latter sampled from April to November at the Watauga County Farmer's Market-and of course, local eateries, even hip food trucks and local breweries.

Valle Crucis Food scene

Some of our top pics in Valle Crucis
Located in the picturesque village of Valle Crucis, North Carolina, Over Yonder tells the story of historic Appalachian cuisine from Chef Andy Long. Over Yonder opened in June of 2014 in the former homestead of the Taylor Family, one of the founding families of Valle Crucis. Our mission is to interpret classic Appalachian food in a modern yet casual way, and we do this by sourcing the best product we can and then doing our best not to screw it up. Everything is scratch-prepared, or as we like to call it, "done the hard and stupid way", and we believe if you give it a try you will taste the difference.

The Gamekeeper Restaurant and Bar, located between Boone and Blowing Rock NC, is well known for interesting and delicious interpretations of Southern classics. The menu changes seasonally blending the traditional with the exotic, satisfying both meat and veggie lovers. Quality and care is evident in all we produce. The freshest of local ingredients and humanely farm raised meats are served. The knowledgeable staff is fabulous and truly stands behind what they are serving and producing. It is the ultimate marriage of fine dining and comfort food. This is not haute cuisine: you will leave sated and satisfied after your experience.

Such a fun down town spot on King Street. Upstairs is the chocolate bar where you can choose from gorgeous treats and coffee / espresso and down stairs is the wine bar that also servers a selection of local meat and cheese boards. Impeccably decorated Venture truly is an experience you don't want to miss during your stay.
