Reviews for Alpaca Experience and Outdoor Brunch in Asheville, NC

Durrant Farms Estate was truly perfect for our whimsical garden wedding. The estate is visually stunning, with so many picturesque views of the sky, pond and forest. We had a very specific vision, and the grounds were exactly what we wanted. The view was stunning in our photos! The amenities and accessibility were another factor in our decision. The cottage provided a beautiful space for me and my bridesmaids to get ready together in. The parking was well organized and nicely hidden. As well as walkways to restrooms that our older relatives could get to without trouble. Tom and Whitney even offered transportation on the 4x4 for those who needed it! The best part of our wedding at Durrant Farms Estate was by far Tom and Whitney. They are so passionate, charming and went the extra mile for us in so many ways. Their care was felt in every part of our day. They are wonderful collaborators, with us as well as our vendors. It felt like everybody was so connected. We ended the day feeling like our dreams came true, and it couldn’t have been better!

Truly couldn’t have found a more perfect venue for our wedding! From beginning to end the owners Whitney and Tom made everything super easy and provided not just an arbor, rugs, corn hole boards, and a fire pit but tables and chairs for the ceremony and reception as well. Due to it being the middle of November they also had heaters in the pavilion so our guests stayed warm and comfortable through the reception. The on sight cabin was also extremely convenient to get ready in before the wedding. Between the beautiful scenery and the adorable alpacas all of our guests were over the moon with the experience. Would and will forever recommend this venue to anyone thinking of getting married!

As an Asheville wedding photographer and videographer, I spend a lot of time at venues across Western North Carolina, and Durrant Farms Estate really stands out. The property has this rare balance of wide open space and intentional design. The light out here is beautiful throughout the day, and there is so much variety for portraits without ever needing to leave the property. I would absolutely recommend Durrant Farms Estate to any couple looking for a relaxed, nature driven wedding in the Asheville area.

I took my bachelorette party to Brunch with the Alpacas and we had an absolute blast! They communicated well and promptly while planning. Additionally, before our visit they had clear instructions on how to prepare, a map, and instructions. The property is absolutely gorgeous, with wide open views of the mountains and the rest of the property. We were kindly greeted upon arrival by Whitney and got introduced to the alpacas and llamas, given treats to feed the animals, and then we were left to enjoy a private brunch at picnic tables near the animals. We enjoyed the best, still warm biscuits, plus fruit, jam, iced coffee, and juice. They had some other good snacks as well! They were also able to get us a gluten free option for the biscuits and we were welcome to bring our own extra food and drinks, which we enjoyed as well. After our meal, we spent even more time with the animals which was amazing!!! After we got cleaned up, we made our way down to the pavilion where we were able to see the property more, use clean restrooms, and purchase items from their merch stand. Overall, my friends and I had an absolutely wonderful time, the alpaca and llamas were soooo cute and sociable, and the Durrants were incredibly welcoming to my group! I would absolutely come again, and I would love to explore the other things Durrant Farms offers, such as event space and stays!

We visited Durrant Farms for brunch with alpacas and it was an amazing experience! The breakfast spread was generous with the best biscuits ever. We had a perfect spot to sit in the shade, but of course the alpacas were the highlight! We had plenty of treats to hand out with our large group! Can’t recommend it enough!

We went here for a bachelorette trip and had such a great experience! Would highly recommend.

My wife and I had a great time at Alpaca brunch! The property is amazing in the middle of the mountains. Whitney was a fantastic host and had everything thoughtfully planned out. She even had a cheat sheet about all the alpacas with the treats they like. The biscuits were amazing and sourced from a local bakery. The alpacas were extremely friendly and playful. I would highly recommend coming here, truly a unique experience.

Very beautiful and serene

Come for the biscuits, stay for the alpacas, and don’t be surprised if you leave with alpaca hair on your shirt and a full heart."

My husband and I went to Durrant Farms for the Brunch with alpacas. Whitney and Tom were excellent hosts, along with the alpacas! It was such a fun experience and would highly recommend it for all the animal lovers out there.
