The Weekend Foodie Tour.

Click below to hear one of our local business owners tell you all about why you should make Hillsborough your next weekend foodie destination.

Drop your bags, freshen up, grab a map of downtown and make room for dinner and drinks! Whether you’re staying at the historic Inn, one of our great hotels (Holiday Inn Express or Microtel) or a more laid back experience with AirBnB, you’re sure to enjoy your stay!

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.

A Neighborhood spot serving reimagined ethnic fare and unique cocktails in a cozy setup, offering outdoor dining and even a private room option.

After your meal, head over to Yonder for an evening cocktail, some live music, and dancing. Make sure to follow them on their socials for the most recent listing of their monthly events!

A stroll down to the local coffee shop will have you impressed with the wide range and selection of specialty drinks and freshly baked (with love!) pastries and tarts from owners Brooke & Ryan.

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!

No southern stay is complete without a lazy Sunday brunch. No one does it better than Spencer’s Tavern, which is tucked inside The Colonial Inn. Check their website for the full menu.
