Explore Our Craft Beverages and Country Inns

Discover award-winning craft beverages and indulgent bed and breakfast stays.

The CVB created the Heart of NC Bed & Breakfast Trail in 2009 to celebrate our collection of bed & breakfast inns and wineries while showcasing our area for a long weekend. Since then, Chatham County has expanded its other beverage offerings to include craft beer, mead, cider, sake, and distilled spirits. The new Chatham County Craft Beverages and Country Inns Trail continues to offer excellent accommodations for a midweek or long weekend getaway, plus various places to explore that provide award-winning craft beverages.

Stay tuned for more information online and, in the meantime, enjoy a cold beverage, paired with local eats, live music, and a conversation with the winemaker, brewmaster, or distiller. Make it an indulgent visit with an overnight at a romantic bed and breakfast inn. Accommodations vary in location and amenities; some are pet-friendly, family-friendly, within walking distance of shops and eateries, offer a free mini-bar, or occasionally host farm-to-fork dinners.

Country Inns

Indulge in a stay at one of our area’s charming country inns. Each is unique, yet all offer incomparable quality and a memorable experience: comfortable guest rooms, personal attention and service, and warm hospitality. Experiences for any interest and budget.

Craft Beverages

Tour wineries, breweries, and a distillery–many award-winning, plus wine and sake bars, craft cocktail lounges, and a self-pour bar and restaurant with 80 taps. Each place is distinct, and you can learn about the product and meet the winemaker, distiller, or brewmaster.
