Claywood
Claywood is a seasonally driven restaurant in the heart of Hendersonville rooted in thoughtful cooking, local agriculture, and intentional hospitality. We work closely with regional farmers and purveyors, allowing the ingredients of the Appalachian region to shape our menus as they evolve naturally with the seasons.
Our kitchen blends traditional technique with a modern perspective — from house-crafted charcuterie and dry-aged meats to vibrant vegetable dishes inspired by the farms and forests around us. Behind the bar, a carefully curated whiskey, wine, and cocktail program reflects the same commitment to craftsmanship and balance.
At Claywood, dining is about more than the meal — it’s about gathering. Our dining room is designed to bring people together around the table, creating a space where thoughtful hospitality, great conversation, and memorable meals are shared.
Every dish, every drink, and every experience reflects our belief that the best meals begin with great ingredients and the people who grow them.
Hoopers Creek Wine Market
Hoopers Creek Wine Market is a family run business consisting of Josh, Mollie, their toddler Theo and newborn Oliver. They take pride in their collection of natural, low intervention, small family farmed wines, carefully curating every bottle they have in stock. Hoopers Creek Wine Market isn’t just here to sell wine; it’s here to
share the unique stories behind each vineyard and the remarkable individuals who crafted these exceptional wines.
Josh’s passion for wine all started after receiving his Bachelor’s degree in quantitative geoscience at Appalachian State University, and subsequently going on his two month geology field camp trip backpacking all over Italy. While in Perugia, Assisi and Montefalco particularly, Josh fell in love with the table wine culture of Italy, and most importantly relating wine’s terroir to his expertise in geology. His passion lies in the ability to taste a time and place through a wine, which translates to a wine’s vintage and appellation/region. Mollie fell in love with wine as a means of travel, experiencing a region and culture through each bottle.
Located at the center of Appalachian Wine Country, Hoopers Creek Wine Market loves putting local wine, cider, mead and beer in context next to options from around the world. Glasses are always available to be enjoyed on premise along with ‘apertivo’ bites.

Old Haywood Filling Station
The Old Haywood Filling Station was originally Gasperson’s Grocery & gas station back in 1958, when the surrounding area was mostly farmland. This is the spot where neighbors would fill up their trucks, fill up themselves with groceries, and just socialize with friends during a quick break from their hard work on the farm.
Today, our mission is to again create an environment where our neighbors can fill up on coffee, tea, beer, wine, or food from our food trucks, take a break from life, catch up with neighbors, and meet new friends.
The Old Haywood Filling Station is more than just a coffee, beer, and wine venue. It’s a place where people can come together, share ideas, and create meaningful connections. We believe that every cup of coffee or glass of your favorite beverage has the power to bring people closer, and we strive to create an environment that fosters community and inclusivity.
We work hard to find the very best products available to enhance your experience. We’ll be rotating our beer and wine selections frequently, so come back often to enjoy our latest finds. We’ll also carry a variety of tasty non-alcoholic options (including THC/CBD drinks) and we’ll feature daily food trucks to satisfy your hunger.

Stone Ashe Vineyard
With a shared vision in 2010, Craig and Tina Little started to imagine an estate vineyard similar to those of the great growing regions of France. So began their story to pursue a second lifelong passion: grape growing and winemaking. After successful primary careers in dentistry, they turned their attention to finding the correct vineyard site, which they found in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Hendersonville. The vineyard has become a family affair, and many of their family members now work there, as they strive for innovation and devotion. In the second half of 2024, their exciting journey takes the next step closer to their dream, as they open and begin pressing their own wine on-site in their brand new, state-of-the-art, on-site winemaking facility, using only their estate-grown grapes.
Stone Ashe Vineyard offers a taste of Bordeaux in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The state-of-the-art tasting room rests on a mountain bluff at 2,700 feet in elevation, surrounding by vineyards planted with vines cloned from Bordeaux. Stone Ashe chose the terroir of Hendersonville’s Crest of the Blue Ridge American Viticultural Area to produce wines for the world stage using classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Riesling.
World’s Edge Meadery
Located at Point Lookout Vineyards, World’s Edge produces seven meads: wildflower and orange blossom, apple, raspberry, tropical fruit, chamomile and chai tea. For the uninitiated, mead is type of wine made from honey. It was popular in American during Colonial times and offers a nice alternative to Point Lookout’s wine collection.
