Winston-Salem
Winston-Salem rests in the center of the North Carolina Piedmont. It was once the center of the tobacco industry, nicknamed The Camel City after the cigarette brand. At left, the R.J. Reynolds tobacco plant is now a craft brewery. At right, tulips in bloom at the Reynolda House Museum and Gardens.
Also known as The City of Arts and Innovation, Winston-Salem celebrates vibrant visual, performing and culinary arts scenes. Its downtown arts district is home to working studios, galleries and shops, in addition to homegrown restaurants for gourmands of any inclination.
