Biltmore Estate

At the astonishingly large Biltmore Estate you will find a winery, horseback riding, hiking trails, fly fishing, and more.

Stationed in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina is where you will be able to find the exorbitant Biltmore Estate. The 8,000-acre Biltmore Estate has been credited as the largest home in the United States. Built in the 1890s by George Vanderbilt and inspired by French Renaissance architecture, he opened the 250-room residence to his close friends and family when construction was completed. The home then opened to the public in 1930 as a means to generate profit during the Great Depression. Now, visitors can gain entry to the grounds for the price of $84 per ticket. With this ticket you are granted access to a tour of the estate, a complimentary wine tasting and winery tour, the gardens, the Conservatory, and miles of hiking trails.

During the daytime, one of the best ways to spend your visit at the Biltmore is to take a stroll through the grounds on a brisk fall day, as there are over 20 miles of trails within the domain. Afterward, it is definitely worth it to join in on the tour of the winery that is included with your admission fee and that offers complimentary samples. The winery at the Biltmore Estate was established in 1983 and is one of the most visited wineries in the entire country. There is absolutely nothing like enjoying a glass of expertly crafted wine while overlooking the mesmerizing Blue Ridge Mountains. The Biltmore also offers different seasonal activities, such as summertime concerts on the front lawn. You won’t want to miss out on experiencing the Biltmore Estate if you are in the Asheville area.
