If you are looking for an authentic Asheville experience, look no further than Provisions Mercantile in trendy West Asheville and Historic Biltmore Village. Owned by 2nd generation locals, Matt & Heather Wright, Provisions has become a “must-stop” for all locals that are showing off the vibe of their city to friends and family.

Provisions Mercantile has mastered the feel for neighborhood gift shop, filling its shelves with local artists, local foods, drinks, local candles, gifts, merch, and so much more.

Heather and her team update the aesthetic of the shops seasonally and have a knack for always having the perfect something for the people in your life that are hard to shop for.

For the reluctant spouse, for the girls getaway, for the bridal party, for the couples getaway, or for the extended family holiday, Provisions is a perfect shopping experience for all. “We’ve made a point to make sure everyone is comfortable in the shop. From a great variety of gifts, to a pet section, great men’s section, bar area, and kids toys, we have it all”.

And for the most excited (or the most grumpy of all)… We offer sip and shop at both locations. After all, this is Beer City! Sample so many varieties of Asheville beer as you shop. Also on tap, wine, prosecco, and non-alcoholic drinks. Worst case scenario, we’ve got Beau the shop dog ready to greet everyone that walks in.

This shop is a microcosm of Asheville all under one roof; Provisions highlights the vibrant local art scene, local foods, local drink, small business, in a trendy area of Asheville, dripping in Southern hospitality, and pet friendly. What’s not to like?

*Locals Tip: FYI, a perfect morning in West Asheville includes grabbing an early morning coffee at Bad Manners Coffee, choosing the perfect brunch at either Biscuit Head - West Asheville or Sunnypoint Cafe and walking over (in a food coma) to Provisions Mercantile to check out for yourself what it’s all about. Haywood Road, in the Heart of West Asheville, is a cool, walkable, option for experiencing Asheville from a local perspective.

After hitting up Provisions, walk down to Cellarest, Haywood Common, or the Whale to keep the great day going. Asheville is something else. Cheers to your experience and new memories to be made!
