We explore the roots of Appalachian food and beverage culture and re-create it in our kitchen by preserving and reviving ingredients of our local heritage.Join us at The Speckled Trout for a taste of locally sourced regional fare by Chef Michael Foreman and warm hospitality that will keep y'all coming back!

Nestled in the foothills of the North Carolina mountains is a vineyard reminiscent of a French Hillside Vineyard. Located on the historic Brewer Mill site, overlooking the Roaring River is the Chez Josephine Restaurant. Enjoy the scenic river views from a cantilevered three-story high covered porch, while sipping a delicious glass of wine, and listening to the sounds of the Roaring River as it flows by. Our diners enjoy dining at our vineyard restaurant. We also have vacation rentals, event venues, and an RV park and are Harvest Hosts. We are close to Stone Mountain State Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and many other vineyards, distilleries, and breweries. Our vineyard has become a tourist destination and has been featured on NC Weekend programs, various magazines, and publications. In our backyard yet away from it all!

The Beacon Butcher Bar is a labor of love from Tina Houston, owner of Reid’s Café & Catering Co., established here in the High Country since 1999. The Beacon is located in the heart of Boone, NC adjacent to the iconic Water Wheel. Just as we value beautiful ingredients in our catering, The Beacon adheres to a similar message. In the kitchen, we value the fashion from scratch details as small as the aiolis and dressings we use, to the housemade desserts and pastries, cured and smoked meats, and naturally fermented pickles. Behind the bar, we strive for innovation and discovery from our unique and inspiring cocktails. We work within the seasons of the Blue Ridge to present a deliberate and thoughtful menu. We love the intentional, the specific, the well-cared-for. Respectively, our market offers a unique selection of local goods and treats. From our featured cloister honey to housemade single origin chocolates, we present the craft and exceptionality of local, artisanal talent.

At first glance the way the tables are placed, you feel you are in the lobby restaurant of a 3 star hotel but don't let the look deceive you. Although the bar is small it is pretty and serves great high end liquor drinks. The food is simple like charcuterie, burgers and breakfast food but delicious. The staff is friendly. I would go again.

Lovely venue …glad I had made reservations. Lunch was good but given name of restaurant, I was surprised @ menu choices (nothing French?). There were 4 of us and 1 was not a wine drinker so it was nice that they had beer on the menu. We enjoyed it & will go back.
