Shopping

Morganton and Valdese NC, the two largest towns, and the other communities of Burke are filled with specialty stores featuring antiques and collectables, clothing, furnishings, consignments, WNC regional art and Blue Ridge mountain hand-made jewelry and crafts.

Local outfitters have everything you need for an exciting NC mountain adventure.

Lake James Winery and the Waldensian Heritage Winery offer tastings and tours along with retail sales. Be sure to get a “taste of the grape” during your visit to these NC wineries.
