We also love visiting during peak Apple season because of all the outstanding Apple Orchards in Hendersonville. During our visits, Jenn and I have explored all the very best things to do, the best restaurants, and stayed at some amazing places while visiting.

Everything highlighted in this guide and the sections below are things we've personally experienced during our adventures there. We knew Hendersonville was an amazing and fun North Carolina Mountain town, but we now have it as one of our most favorite North Carolina Mountain towns!

Let's dive in to all the wonderful and exciting things to do in Hendersonville NC, based on our adventures!

Go Apple Picking

The small mountain town of Hendersonville is the Apple Capital of NC. There are many apple orchards and farms within a 20-30 minute drive from Downtown Hendersonville, where you can pick your own apples, enjoy delicious local fruit, and even buy homemade pies, jams, jellies and more!

These apple orchards often have even more things to do when visiting, like hayrides, petting zoos, apple canons, corn mazes, and pick your own pumpkins, grapes, and berries. Not to mention all the great apple products to eat and drink, including cider, hard cider, apple donuts, apple pies, and more!

We visited two of the nicest Apple Orchards in Hendersonville NC, and had so much fun. Both of these farms are beautiful, family-friendly, and offer so much to do, including u-pick apples.

Stepp's Hillcrest Orchard

Stepp's Hillcrest Orchard is a great family-friendly farm, located just 10 minutes outside of downtown Hendersonville and is one of our top picks for the best apple orchards in Hendersonville NC.

The orchard has many varieties of apples, plus grapes for u-pick as well. They also have a very popular annual corn maze, hayrides that take you through their orchards and apple cannons where you can shoot small apples from air powered guns at targets.

Love flowers? They offer u-pick for wildflowers and sunflowers as well.

Stepp's Hillcrest Orchard also offers homemade jams, jellies, salsas, baked goods, ciders and more at their store and bakery.

Jeter Mountain Farm

Jeter Mountain Farm is a great place to purchase and u-pick apples,berries, grapes, and other fruits. They offer many varieties of apples and pumpkins as well. Besides apples, they also offer u-pick for blackberries, elderberries, grapes, wildflowers, and sunflowers.

Jeter Mountain Farm is a large farm, and a hayride on a tractor is the only way to get out to the orchards and fields.

They have a large store that sells apple butter, apple cider, hard cider, and many other items, including wearables.

Be sure to check out the taproom where you can sample their award-winning hard ciders and a dedicated bakery area for their hot and fresh apple doughnuts.

Hungry? Enjoy some of the area's best BBQ at their 1813 Smokehouse while listening to some live bluegrass music.

Need to let the kids burn off some energy? There is a large indoor playground just for them! Be sure to grab an apple butter latte at the Coffeehouse to enjoy while the kids play away.

Jeter Mountain Farm is literally a full day's worth of apple and farm fun!

Do you love ice cream? We sure do, and the Hendersonville Ice Cream Trail highlights the very best ice cream Hendersonville and Henderson County offers. The trail allows you to discover ice cream shops and parlors that feature classic favorites and unique shop offerings.

So "scoop" up the family, and travel the ice cream trail. Not only will you enjoy ice cream, you'll discover new and unexplored areas of Hendersonville, and meet some outstanding business owners and employees as well.

We explored three different shops on the trail and loved all three of them:

McConnell Farms

McConnell Farms was our favorite, offering hand made ice cream, made mainly from their own farm grown ingredients. McConnell Farms has been making ice cream for over 20 years. They began with just strawberry, and now offer many flavors, including seasonal favorites.

They make ice cream varieties using items grown right on their farm, such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, figs, cherries, apples, honey, ginger, peaches and more.

You'll find unique flavors like "Burnt Honey", rum raisin, lemon blueberry, lavender and more! They even have a corn ice cream, which might surprise you, but it's delicious.

We tried a sampler of 6 different varieties, including strawberry, burnt honey, fig liqueur, cream style corn, ginger lavender, and blueberry crumble - All were absolutely delicious! My favorites were the strawberry and fig liquer, Jenn's were the ginger lavender and burnt honey.

Their number one seller is Strawberry, and it's some of the very best Strawberry ice cream we've ever had. That it's made with strawberries right there from the farm makes all the difference.

You'll definitely want to visit McConnell Farms for their amazing ice cream and while you're there, grab some fresh produce from the store, and explore the farm as well. It's a beautiful family-owned farm.

Celtic Creamery

When we visited, we tried their coffee and chocolate cookie dough ice cream, but couldn't resist trying their strawberry ice cream as well. All three were amazing, and some of the most creamy ice cream we've ever had.

Besides the ice cream, Celtic Creamery has a variety of other snacks and beverages such as milkshakes, floats, sundaes, waffle cones and more.

So if you’re in the Hendersonville area, be sure to pay Celtic Creamery a visit and have an amazing ice cream experience.

Piggy's Ice Cream Parlor

Piggy's Ice Cream is a true Hendersonville institution, opening in 1979. Piggy's has been serving ice cream, thick shakes, and banana splits ever since. Harry and Sallie (aka Piggy) opened it with the help of their son's Todd, Michael and Jeff.

Today, Harry, Sallie, and Todd have passed on, but Michael and Jeff continue to serve ice cream at Piggy's. In 1993, they added on a restaurant, and to honor their father, named it Harry's. The restaurant and ice cream parlor combined are Harry & Piggy's.

What makes the restaurant truly unique is the decor. See, Piggy was a collector, and the ice cream parlor and restaurant are full of memorabilia from signs to toys, armor, statues, super heros, and more. You name it, and you'll probably find it. The collectibles truly add to the character and history of this family business.

We didn't try a banana split, but we did get some ice cream, and really enjoyed it while admiring all the various items on display throughout the restaurant. The food over in the restaurant smelled great as well.

Be sure to stop by Piggy and Harry's while traveling along the ice cream trail. See what unique items you can find while enjoying some great ice cream.

Take in the views at Jump Off Rock

A visit to Jump off Rock has been on our bucket list for a while now, and we finally made it.

Jump Off Rock is a rocky outcropping overlooking the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains, and it's also one of the most popular places for tourists to take pictures in Hendersonville NC.

The views from Jump Off Rock are simply amazing. You can see for miles and miles in almost every direction.

The view at Jump off Rock is very easy to access, and is literally just a few hundred feet from the main parking area, and a mostly flat walk. This makes Jump off Rock easily accessible for many, with a nice overlook that provides breathtaking views, and incredible sunsets.

This is definitely a spot you'll want to drive to when visiting Hendersonville. The views are amazing, and it's great spot to get some photos during your visit.

After a long day of exploring Hendersonville NC, why not enjoy some great food at one of the local restaurants in Hendersonville?

There are lots of wonderful options for dining out that will fit everyone’s taste. Whether you’re looking for an upscale dining experience, a cozy Italian bistro or a trendy sushi spot, there are plenty of delicious meals to be had in Hendersonville.

We had the pleasure of trying out some of the very best restaurants in Hendersonville NC. Here are just a few of the ones we would recommend:

• Postero - Upscale restaurant located in an old bank building in downtown. They serve classic American food with a "dash of modern-day flavor". Our top pick and one of the best restaurants we've eaten at anywhere.
• Shine - Also in downtown Hendersonville and another of our of top picks. Shine serves an array of items from Italian to American. They have a seasonal menu, an even a rooftop bar that we really enjoyed.
• Mezzaluna - In downtown Hendersonville as well, Mezzaluna specializes in brick oven pizza and local craft beers. They also offer several Italian dishes as well. Excellent place for pizza and a beer.
• Flat Rock Wood Room - Definitely the most unique restaurant we've eaten at in Hendersonville and delicious as well. In an old home close to downtown, they offer specialty sandwiches, wood-fired pizza, and BBQ. We're really surprised they aren't more well known, the food is amazing.

Historic downtown Hendersonville NC, is a popular spot for visitors and tourists and for good reason. The downtown area is full of great shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants to visit. We found ourselves visiting downtown a lot, taking in all the sights, stores, and bears.

Yes, bears. See, downtown Hendersonville is full of various bear statues painted with all kinds of colors and decorations. They are pretty popular too, as we saw many people posing with them and taking photos.

In downtown, you'll find many shops, like general stories, clothing stores, boutiques, music stores, and even a cigar shop. You'll also find many cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars as well.

Downtown Hendersonville is very vibrant and delivers plenty to see and do. When visiting, you'll want to plan to spend some time there just to experience it.

Grab a beer and hang out at Oklawaha Brewing Company

We love discovering hidden gems that offer more than just your average experience. One such place is Oklawaha Brewing Company, located in the heart of historic downtown Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Walking into Oklawaha Brewing Company, you're immediately greeted by an atmosphere that's both welcoming and vibrant. The interior design is a tasteful blend of modern and rustic, with wooden accents and industrial touches that pay homage to the building's historic roots. The taproom has a relaxed and super casual vibe, filled with the sounds of live music, people talking and having a good time.

But this isn't just any dirt — it's loaded with a variety of gems like quartz, amethyst, garnet, fossils, and more! Whether you're an experienced rockhound or a novice gem hunter, there's something for everyone. We even found a geode in ours, which we got to crack open.!

Head down to the play area and petting zoo and let the kids enjoy the animals and playground equipment. You'll find chickens, goats, and even a peaco*ck! There are bridges, balance beams and other equipment for the kids to explore.

We've been to several Gem Mines in the Blue Ridge Mountains over the years, and Elijah Mountain is one of our favorites!

Explore Western NC Aviation History at WNC Air Museum

Located only 2.5 miles from downtown Hendersonville, NC, the WNC Air Museum stands as a testament to our nation's rich flying heritage. The museum is also the very first air museum in the state of North Carolina, well known for its "First in Flight" legacy.

The WNC Air Museum is home to an impressive collection of restored vintage aircraft, each with their own unique story to tell. From classic biplanes to iconic warbirds, the museum's exhibits offer a nostalgic trip down aviation memory lane.

We toured the museum with the museum's curator, Al Denn. Al told us all about the history of the museum, and the story behind each of the aircraft that you can see while visiting. The stories were as interesting as the aircraft themselves.

What sets the WNC Air Museum apart is its commitment to making history accessible to all. Admission and parking are free, and group tours are welcomed, making it a wonderful destination for families and field trips. Interactive exhibits allow visitors to explore and even climb into historic planes, offering a truly immersive experience.

The recently reopened Flat Rock Cinema is a beloved landmark that brings a touch of nostalgia and a unique movie-going experience to the Hendersonville area. Located in the charming village of Flat Rock, this historic cinema is a perfect blend of historic charm coupled with modern amenities.

A Rich History
Flat Rock Cinema recently reopened and has brought new life to this historic cinema, allowing visitors and locals alike to enjoy first-run movies in a setting that takes you back to more simple times.

We visited in the spring of 2024 to see the newly released Summer Camp movie, which was filmed in Hendersonville. Hendersonville is not only famous for Apples, but for summer camps as well.

As we entered, what looked a bit more like a store front than a theater, we were warmly greeted by the energetic and smiling staff, who checked our tickets. We then waited in line for some food and drinks to compliment our movie.

While waiting, we spent time looking around, and noticed that unlike the traditional large, impersonal multiplexes, Flat Rock Cinema delivered a more warm, intimate, and cozy atmosphere.

The Cinema serves many of your traditional movie favorites including popcorn, hot dogs, burgers, nachos, candy and softdrinks. They also serve a selection of local beers, hard ciders and wine. But let us warn you, the large hard cider is HUGE!

With food in hand, and the staff pointing me in the direction of the restrooms after handing my large hard cider (well played!), we headed into the theater area for the movie.

You won't find a traditional movie experience. We entered a large room full of tables and chairs. More like a dining room than a theater. Of course, the large screen was on the far side, and along the walls were cinema speaker systems. You get the quality of theater, with the comfort of a dining room.

Soon after sitting, the lights dimmed, and we watched a number of local advertisem*nts before the movie began. We honestly weren't sure what to expect from Summer Camp, but we throughly enjoyed the movie and theater.

The reopening of Flat Rock Cinema is a welcome addition to the Hendersonville area, offering a unique and nostalgic movie-going experience. It's a must-visit for film enthusiasts and anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing evening in a historic and charming setting. We had a great time and know you will as well!

A visit to Hendersonville wouldn't be complete without a fun-filled round of mini-golf at the Laura E. Corn Mini Golf Course. Located in Boyd Park, this beautifully designed course offers entertainment for all ages and is a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.

The best part? It's incredibly inexpensive at $3/round.

The Laura E. Corn Mini Golf Course is located in Edwards Park. Included in the course are 18 holes of varying difficulty, each themed around Hendersonville and its surrounding areas. The course is well maintained, and fun to play!

Opening in the fall of 2023, the course is completely brand new. The old course was located in another nearby park, that is now the site of a new fire department. Edwards Park is now home to the relocated and rebuilt historic golf course. After running the course for years, Laura E. Corn retired and they named the course in her honor.

We visited to play just as they opened, and a friendly young man greeted us and told us all about the history of the course, and about Laura E. Corn. We paid for a single round, grabbed our clubs and colored golf balls, and headed over to hole #1.

We really enjoyed walking the course, enjoying the artwork on many of them by local artists, and reading the story behind each of the 18 holes. We found the course fun and challenging, but not so difficult that everyone will have a good time.

A visit to the Laura E. Corn Mini Golf Course is a must for anyone looking to have some lighthearted fun in Hendersonville. With its beautiful setting, challenging course, and family-friendly atmosphere, it's the perfect place to have a great time and a low cost.

Spend an afternoon enjoying incredible scenic views and some of the finest wine in the Blue Ridge Mountains. A visit to one of Hendersonville's 7 different local wineries is a must for anyone looking to soak in great views, exceptional wine, food, live entertainment and more.

We have personally visited nearly all of these wineries multiple times during our visits to Hendersonville NC!
