You donât have to hunt long to find a great cocktail or a fine glass of wine. Blowing Rock isnât full of goody-two shoeses sic, itâs just packaged that way. The fabulous Chamber of Commerce brings great wine every spring during the Blue Ridge Wine Festival. And it's a challenge to find a night when one of the bars in Blowing Rock is not packed with locals and tourists, inhibitionless and dancing to a great or not so great band. Stone masons chatting with attorneys. Old ladies with their glass of white zin hitting on the boys from the ski patrol. It is quite a sight. Walk into the lounge at Twigs any Saturday night to join the fun and meet some real characters. If youâre feeling really froggy, hit Tijuana Fats and party with the college kids from Appalachian State. No guarantee where youâll wake up, though.
