Start the New Year on the road

January and February are great months for Southerners to travel in our own backyard. Tourists are few, the beaches and golf courses are in good, non-crowded shape, the weather is rarely cold or rainy enough to limit activities, bugs are down and prices are as low as they are likely to go.

My suggestion is to make a list with the family of all the things you want to see within a hundred miles or so. Here are a few suggestions to get you started.

It's a bit chilly for tubing the Itchitucknee, but how about a swim with the manatees at Crystal River or Homassassa Springs?  Prices run about $60-65 per person and you can rent a wet suit from the outfitter.

Take a hike. The Devil's Millhopper in Gainesville or our own Timuqua Preserve are good options.

Get a list of state parks and start seeing them.

Rent an oceanfront condo for a family, friends or girls' getaway.our list

While making your list,  consider these deals and specials.

Another China 

Typical tour of China: Beijing, The Great Wall, the terra cotta warriers in Xi'an, the Three Gorges and Shanghai.

My recent China itinerary: Whenzhou; Wencheng County; ancient villages of Furong,  Yantou and  Cangpo;  and in Sichuan Province, ChengDu, two National Parks in Jiuzhaigou Valley and Huanglong, a UNESCO site in the Tibetan plateau and the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base.

The large, manufacturing city of Whenzou is not a tourist center but they welcome them, especially Westerners.

See the real martial arts in Whenzhou.

The cuisine is superb, the hotels excellent (I recommend the Shangri-La) there are interesting things to see.

Try on costumes at the Kun Qu Opera House.

Try the Arts and Crafts Research Institute, a martial arts school, the Kun Qu Opera House to Jiangxin Islet in the middle of the city's Ou River with its pagodas, temples and shaded paths and ponds.

Ming dynasty era Linkeng Village.

Day trips will take you to Ming and Tang era villages, the World Geological Park at Yandang Mountain,and Tongling Mountain.

Urbane, colorful and sophisticated, ChengDu, a city of more than 14 million, is the Shanghai of Southwest China.

Something red that dangles? Try Jiangli Road.

I highly recommend you add it to your China itinerary.  Most Western tourists come to see the nearby Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, but the city is well worth an extra few days.

Become part of a sculpture on Kuanzai Alley.

Fanciful skyscrapers blend with the ancient market and entertainment centers of Kuanzai "wide" Alley and Jiangli "old" Road.

Not to be missed is an evening at the Shufengyayun Opera Teahouse.

The Giant Pandas are endlessly entertaining and the park is beautiful, well worth a day or more visit. If you can watch one of these two-toned butterballs without grinning, consider yourself dead.

Adventurous travelers will love the National Parks of Jiuzhai Valley and Huanglong. Between the nine Tibetan Villages, thousands of lakes, forests, waterfalls and hiking trails, there is much to do and see for those who can handle the altitude (2,000 to 8,000 feet unless you are scaling a mountain) and physical demands (lots of steps).

 It is a major vacation spot for the Chinese but you will see few Westerners.

Oh, you can ride a yak, too.

Virginia's Wintergreen is a cool summer destination

Overlook at Devils Knob loop.

Wintergreen Resort is known by most as Virginia's largest ski area. Snuggled into the peaks, slopes and valley of Devils Knob and Black Rock Mountains, it is within three hours' drive of the D.C. area, two of Richmond and one of Charlottesville. Skiers know it for the 24 ski runs, snowboard and tubing facilities, children's programs and ever-present snow.

Looking at ski runs is more comfortable in summer.

In summer its charms include 30 miles of marked hiking trails, challenging golf courses, an excellent tennis and aquatic facility and a well-staffed spa to ease over-stressed muscles.  Several good restaurants, too.

Blue Ridge Retreat

All Wintergreen accommodations are private and range from efficiency suites condos to where I and a group of travel and golf writers stayed, Blue Ridge Retreat, a nine-bedroom, nine and one-half-bathroom house with more than the comforts of home. Two dishwashers and a commercial gas range for example.

While the golf writers tackled Stoney Creek, the 27-holes of  Reese Jones' valley courses, and Devils Knob, the soaring track designed by Ellis and Dan Maples, several of us chose to explore other attractions to be found in Nelson County.

King George II granted this land to James Dickie.

Apples older than America

The Dickie orchard ranged across the valley slopes below Little de Priest Mountain before there was an America. The original James Dickie, a sea captain, received land grants from King George in 1752, 1756 and 1780; the sheepskin and parchment deeds and the land have been in the same family every since.

John Bruguiere (his mother was a Dickie) brought us up to date and into the complexities of apple growing. As apple varieties have increased - there are more than 7,000 - trees have shrunk while the apples they produce have grown in size and quantity.

Dickie Brothers Orchard grows 20 different apple varieties along with peaches, pears, nectarines, plums, blackberries, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and squash on 100 acres. One-third of the apple crop, including Gala, HoneyCrisp and McIntosh, all ripen in August. In a county of 15,000 residents one-half million bushels of apples are grown each year; 70,000 bushels from the Dickie Orchard.

Turn here and you will find it.

You won't find Dickie Brothers on a main road, but any Newton County resident can give you directions.

Handsome sitting area in Nellysford Cider Barn.

Appropriately, we headed next to where some of John's apples go, the Nellysford Barn of Bold Rock Cidery in Rockfish Valley.  Started in 2012 by founding partners Virginian John Washburn and New Zealander Brian Shanks, the company's success is in large part due to Shanks' internationally acknowledged skills at producing cider.

Using locally produced apples he has developed a surprising variety of drinkable flavors.

Looking down at Rockfish Creek.

We thoroughly enjoyed learning the history of cider in the small upstairs museum and lunch of sandwiches on the deck overlooking Rockfish Creek, but best of all was sipping our way through a tasting flight of ciders.

Overlooking the vines at Veritas.

Veritas Vineyard and Winery was our next stop and the handsome building in a  bucolic area of rolling hills covered with rows of grape vines did not disappoint. Of course Virginia had a head start in the wine biz with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers trying their hands with producing wine just as they did with cider.

Happy wine samplers.

This family operation has gone for quality over quantity and it tastes it. Judging from the groups there when we arrived and those who came in before we left, it is one of the more popular stops on the wine trail.

Wintergreen Spa

We might have lingered but spa treatments awaited us at Wintergreen.  I selected the Signature massage, a bit of everything - Swedish, reflexology, hot stones (from local creek beds!) and a few techniques Amanda used I couldn't identify. Suffice to say it was the fastest 80 minutes ever enjoyed, although is any good spa treatment ever long enough?

Not long enough was how I felt leaving Wintergreen. I wanted to return to the Copper Mine Bistro to try the boneless short ribs, a specialty they were out of the night we dined, and to sample a few more of their excellent wines. There had been no time for trying out a hiking path, diving into the aquatic center, stopping at more of the overviews or finding out where Muhammed Ali's property had been.

Not to mention the air, clear, cool with tones of hay and fruit and evergreens. Need more deep breaths of it.

Stubborn independence, centuries of wars and pride in having achieved freedom at last.

All of this, like the Danube that flows through them, you find in all five countries.

Some mornings you have to consult the ship's itinerary to make sure where you are. Then try to remember what the cruise director said about the currency at last night's port talk.

Each country has its own and, despite European Union membership, some don't accept euros, some will accept low denomination dollars if they are pristine but never any coins other than their own. Change will be in their currency. Souvenirs often cost more when you whip out a credit card.

Fascinating, frustrating and unforgettable. You will return to America feeling incredibly fortunate that you call it home.

Celebrating the Fourth of July here was more meaningful than any amount of red, white and blue bunting or bombs of fireworks bursting in air.

Vantage River Splendor

The Ship  
I was on the Vantage River Splendor along with about 168 others. Almost all were Americans, some of whom were on their 12th trip with the line. Why? They liked the atmosphere aboard, the amenities, the food, the itineraries and the price.  

Taking the mountain air

What can you do in a one-stoplight town?  If it is Banner Elk, NC, quite a bit.

Breakfast croissant.

Catch breakfast at Dunn's Deli. Owner, chef and jolly good company Mike Dunn's signature breakfast croissants and breakfast bowls start the day nicely. As he says, "It's not fast food, it's good food done as fast as I can." He also owns Perry House B and B up the hill next to the Deli.

 Stop on the Deli's deck and try your hand on one of the six "Go Ahead and Play Me" painted pianos scattered around town. This Chamber of Commerce project has been very successful.

Work off breakfast with a stroll along the Greenway with its streams and parcour.

Kids in tow?

Mr. Pickles is a local star.

Angora goats personify cute.

Take a tour of the Apple Hill Alpaca Farm where owner Lee Rankin and her staff will introduce you to the resident llamas, Mr. Pickles the pig, chickens, donkeys, angora goats, horses and dogs as well as the alpacas.

 

Don't miss the May Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, part of Lees-McRae College. During the summer and on weekends they have animal presentations. We met a barred owl,  a red-tailed hawk, a crow and a baby bobcat and observed a Canada Goose receive acupuncture treatment. 

Feel like a swim? Wildcat Lake is just the ticket. Fishing piers, canoes and kayaks are available too. No charge.

Disc golfers often lose discs,

On a clear day or even a cloudy one, drive up Beech Mountain Resort. Hike 30 miles of trails, mountain bike, play disc golf or take the chairlift to 5506' Skybar to enjoy the view and the Beech Mountain Brewery craft beer.

Master brewer Billy Smith selects a flight for tasting.

Both it and Grandfather Mountain are a 20-minute drive away.

Speaking of tasting adult beverages, Flat Top Brewing Co.

Banner Elk winery

and Banner Elk Winery are good spots to take your thirst. The winery's "front yard" with its chairs and fire pits is a popular spot for watching sunsets.

All ages get up and dance at Concerts in the Park.

Come Thursday, don't miss the weekly Concert in the Park. Residents and visitors alike make a party of it, picnicking  and dancing.

I've saved the best for last: Banner Elk has become the gourmet center of the high country.

I had two favorites.

Chef Bill and Anita Greene.

Chef Bill Greene at  Artisanal will knock your socks off and his wife, Anita, will make sure you leave happy. Reared in Banner Elk, he sped up the culinary ladder from CIA to the Ocean Reef Club, The Phoenician Resort, Le Cirque 2000  the Waldorf Astoria's Peacock Alley and the Bellagio.

Family brought the Greenes back to Banner Elk and the first, small version of Artisanal. When Wayne Huizinga was seeking a chef to develop a special restaurant to enhance his exclusive Diamond Creek Golf Club, he turned to Bill and Anita.

The result is a new "old" barn with a tasteful equestrian decor. Dining is on the first floor and deck overlooking a stream. Downstairs is the wine cellar for the restaurant's 8,000-bottle collection and a handsome tasting room.

The food? Organic fruit and vegetables are picked in the morning and served that night. Meat and seafood are the best to be had and what Chef Bill does with them all is extraordinary. He had me at the first course, a bright assortment of summer flavors including heirloom tomatoes, gently roasted South Carolina peaches and an arugula puree so good I wanted a whole soup bowl of it.

Chef Patrick Bagbey.

Laurie Bagbey

Louisiana Purchase the restaurant is as good a deal as Thomas Jefferson's original Louisiana Purchase. Another husband and wife team, Chef Patrick and Laurie Bagbey, keep tables filled and diners happy. It's the third chef-owner team in the spot's 28-year history.

First timers' expectations are usually low approaching the nondescript strip of stores where the restaurant is located. Once inside the picture brightens considerably with attractive painted vignettes on the walls and white linen service. Framed Wine Spectator certificates of excellence help, too.

Eggplant with crawfish.

The wine list is excelled only by the food and service. My crab cake was on the overly breaded side but the tempura eggplant filled with crawfish tail meat and the holy trinity of minced vegetables more than made up for that. So did the fresh blackberry pie. It's easy to see why this gem is open year round.

Two other spots are worth mentioning.

Spinach melt

Since 1983 Sorrento's has offered southern Italian cuisine and huge portions. Chefs Nicole and Anthony Palazzo are the third generation to prepare the family's treasured recipes.

Andy and Les Broussard.

It is easy to see why Andy and Les Broussard's Banner Elk Cafe has prospered, going from 600 square feet to the current 5,500 square feet with two separate kitchens and multiple menus. It's packed summer and winter. Dog friendly, too.

See, you never know about those one stoplight towns.#Visitbannerelk
