The Weekend Foodie Tour.

Drop your bags, freshen up, grab a map of downtown and make room for dinner and drinks

Taste a mix of varietals and vintages. Hillsborough Wine Company features three state of the art tasting machines serving up 2 or 4 oz. pours with a punch card you purchase from staff.

Your culinary adventure starts here! Panciuto features Chef Proprietor Aaron Vandermark who has been a semifinalist for the James Beard Award (Best Chef, Southeast). Panciuto serves up Italian fare with Southern flair and local ingredients so this is a meal you’ll be talking about for weeks, months, possibly even years!

After your meal, head over to Yonder for an evening cocktail, some live music, and dancing.

You’ll likely want to take advantage of the breakfast at the B&B, but don’t fill up just yet. A quick stroll down to the local coffee shop will have impressed with the wide range and selection of speciality drinks and baked goods.

Feel free to take your laptop so you can browse Insta or work while you sip your latte.

Enjoy a nice glass of wine (or 2!), along with seasonal chef specialties, paninis, fresh salads, soups, and pasta.

Grab a table outside at The Wooden Nickel Pub and enjoy a pint al fresco. The pub has a large selection of craft beers as well as delicious farm to fork appetizers to try if you get hungry.

After a fun afternoon making friends at the Wooden Nickel you’re ready to enjoy some slow cooked, smoked, brisket or BBQ from the people’s favorite-Hillsborough BBQ- don’t forget the hush puppies!

Save a bit of room in your belly for Whit’s Frozen Custard- they feature such decadent flavors as Waffle Caramel Crunch, Cookies and Cream Fury, Strawberry Shortcake, and NY Chocolate Chip Cheesecake- to name a few!

Nash Street Tavern is well known for being a locals bar– but they welcome everyone! There’s live music every Saturday night 8-11pm and the intimate atmosphere can let you really kick back and cut loose. Don’t miss a bag of popcorn from the machine!

Hillsborough is known for many things- and The Village Diner is definitely one of those things! This gem has been purchased and rehabbed by Joel Boehlin who has redefined southern comfort food and will change the way you think about breakfast!

Head over to the Hot Tin Roof, Hillsborough’s own hometown honky tonk where the beer is cold and football is usually playing on the TVs on Sunday. This family friendly local hangout features a large outdoor area with yard games and a big deck for relaxing before you head back home.
