Plenty of local places can help.
Many local establishments offer ready made meals or picnic essentials to go.
Laurey's on Biltmore Avenue is a premier emporium of foods to go. Laurey Masterson and her talented crew can fix you up with anything from wonderful sandwiches and salads to mouthwatering soups and desserts. They can even pick up wine and beer from their next door neighbor, the Asheville Wine Market, to round out your feast, and pack your picnic in a basket for your adventure. Across the street, the Blue Moon Bakery has wonderful breads and yet another selection of soups, sandwiches and assorted salads, ready to go on request. You can buy different waters, sodas or coffee drinks in-house or run down the street to the Weinhaus for a more potent libation.
