Tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains is the charming town of Asheville. While this town is known for its amazing outdoor activities like mountain biking or picturesque national forests, it is also home to one of the most historic estates in the country. After checking into your peaceful rental from Yonder Luxury Vacation Rentals, discover Asheville history by making the quick drive to the Biltmore Estate.
A Guide to Visiting the Biltmore Estate
For over 100 years, the Biltmore Estate has been standing tall. This 250-room chateau has been drawing spectators year after year. Be sure to leave a full day on your itinerary to explore the house and grounds of this attraction that is a staple Asheville historical landmark. There are several ticket options to select from that grant you access to different parts of the estate and grounds. Be sure to read through the options carefully, so you don’t miss out on exploring something you wanted to see.
Biltmore House
Wander three floors and the once-bustling basement of the Biltmore House. Enjoy a self-guided tour or let an expert show you around. You’ll learn about the Vanderbilt family as their lives come to life through their furnishing, accessories, fine art, and more. Explore areas not seen on a regular house visit with a rooftop tour.
Gardens & Grounds
Enjoy the beautiful North Carolina weather as you stroll around the gardens and grounds. Explore the Walled Garden, Rose Garden, grand conservatory, Azalea Garden, and more that span acres. In addition, there are more than 20 miles of trails to walk or hike that will take you along the French Broad River, across open meadows, and through forests.
Antler Hill Village
Visitors of every age will enjoy the shopping, dining, and farmyard at Antler Hill Village. This part of the estate connects its past with the present. Highlighting George Vanderbilt’s farming legacy, take in craft demonstrations like blacksmithing and broom making, or visit animals that call the farmyard home.
Biltmore Winery
Finish your visit off with a glass of wine at the Biltmore Winery. The knowledgeable hosts will teach you about the award-winning whites, rosés, and reds produced on the estate. Reservations are required for all wine tastings, so be sure to make yours when you arrive at the winery.
