// 10:30 PM Catch a Lyft to Salvage Station, a riverside bar just outside town with an expansive lawn speckled with fire pits, Ping-Pong tables, and ­impromptu rounds of disc golf.

// 7:30 PM Chow down on a fried-chicken sandwich paired with collard greens and mac and cheese at Buxton Hall Barbecue, were chef Elliot Moss has created some of the most buzzed-about dishes in the South. // 9:00 PM After dinner, stroll through the South Slope neighborhood around Buxton Hall, where you’ll find half a dozen breweries in a four-block area. Burial Beer Com­pany, with its oversize murals of Tom Selleck, is a must.

// 5:00 PM Check into the Windsor, a boutique hotel on Broadway (from $280 a night). Bonus: you’re a few blocks from MG Road, a fun-loving cocktail bar decked out with Christmas lights year-round and a menu full of adult slushies and draft cocktails.

// 3:00 PM Rent a stand-up paddleboard from French Broad River Outfitters ($40) and paddle among the tubers on a mild stretch of the French Broad through the River Arts District, stopping for a beer at New Belgium’s latest brewery and taproom.

// 12:30 PM Head to Chai Pani, where chef Meherwan Irani has brought Indian street-food flair to downtown. Order the Kathi Kabab Roll, with chicken perfectly seared in tandoori spices and topped with chutney.

// 10:00 AM Rent a disc golf set and play a round (Asheville’s sport of choice) at Richmond Hill, a city park with one of the toughest courses on the East Coast.

// 8:30 AM Refuel at Biscuit Head, in trendy West Asheville, where the classic southern biscuit is ­transcended with toppings like pulled pork or fried chicken with sriracha slaw. Try the Gravy Flight ($7), a biscuit with three gravies.

// 6:00 AM Asheville has a reputation as a mountain-bike mecca, but the road riding is even better. Rent a carbon Trek Silque from Liberty Bicycles ($75) and pedal a 25-mile loop that takes in the five-mile Elk Mountain Scenic Parkway climb, cruises Blue Ridge Parkway, and ends with the fast Town Mountain descent.
