Cabin Weekends & Wine Pours: Escaping to the Blue Ridge in Style
There’s something sacred about a weekend spent in a cozy cabin, wrapped in flannel, sipping wine as the mountains breathe around you. This past weekend, I traded screens for stars and deadlines for daybreaks — and escaped to a tucked-away haven in the Blue Ridge Mountains that redefined what it means to stay, sip, and wander.
~The Stay: A Cozy Cabin with Big Personality
Nestled just outside Asheville, our cabin was the perfect blend of rustic and refined — think wood beam ceilings, a clawfoot tub, and a stone fireplace that practically demanded a glass of red wine.
Favorite features:
Hot tub with a view of the treetops
A record player stocked with jazz and Fleetwood Mac
Coffee station with a French press + local beans
➡️ My go-to French press when traveling:👉 STANLEY Travel French Press
🍷 The Sip: Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards
No cabin weekend is complete without a wine stop, and Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards hit every note.
Their Chardonnay Reserve was buttery and smooth
Outdoor seating with mountain views
Live music, charcuterie boards, and no pretense
Pro tip: Bring a bottle back to the cabin and sip by the fire.
~ The Wander: Craggy Gardens Trail
We explored

Sometimes the most inspiring journeys don’t involve passports or planes. Sometimes, they’re just one intentional weekend away — with the right stay, the perfect sip, and space to wander into yourself again.
