Q + A

For those traveling by air, Raleigh-Durham International (RDU) is the nearest airport. We recommend renting a car if you plan to explore or catching an Uber or Lyft from the airport to get to the hotel.

Raleigh-Durham International Airport

We reserved rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn Durham/Southpoint. It is roughly a 15 minute driver from the airport and a 25 minute drive to the Union Grove Farm. Reservations must be made on or before 5pm Monday, September 25, 2023. After this date the hotel will release the unreserved rooms for general sale, and the group rate may no longer apply. Amenities available at the hotel include multiple on-site dining options, indoor pool, and fitness center. The hotel is in close proximity to several shops, restaurants, and access to the American Tobacco Trail.
