Plan your weekend getaway in Asheville, NC. Our recommended two-day itinerary at Biltmore includes staying at The Inn on Biltmore Estate and unwinding at their Winery after a day of activities and tours.
Your Arrival
Stay at the four-star Inn on Biltmore Estate or at the charming Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate. After you check in, relax by visiting Antler Hill Village & Winery located just below The Inn and steps away from both hotels. Antler Hill Village & Winery is a great way to begin your exploration of the many treasures on the 8,000-acre estate.
Soak up the ambience of this charming village full of unique shopping, dining, and exhibits.
Experience an intimate look at historic Biltmore and the Vanderbilt family who created it at The Biltmore Legacy in Antler Hill Village.
Next stop: the Winery for a complimentary wine tasting.
Head to one of the many restaurants for an exquisite dinner, featuring fresh foods raised or grown on the estate.
The First Full Day
Head out early to Biltmore House & Gardens, and try a pastry or a cup of fair-trade coffee at the Bake Shop in the Stable Courtyard on your way. Purchase the Audio Guide to Biltmore House, which brings alive the fascinating story of America’s largest home. Guided specialty tours are also available.
Savor lunch in the Stable Café, located next to Biltmore House, before beginning your journey into the gardens.
Immerse yourself in the “outdoor rooms” designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. From the Library Terrace to the Bass Pond, experience a series of formal and informal gardens – each with its own story to tell.
On the way back to your room, enjoy a leisurely dinner at Bistro, featuring estate-raised and locally sourced products.
Your Last Day
Indulge in a delicious breakfast and reserve a time at The Spa, located at The Inn on Biltmore Estate, and treat yourself to a luxurious service such as a Rose Petal Facial or a Couples’ Massage.
Return to Antler Hill Village and the Outdoor Adventure Center for a final outdoor excursion of horseback riding or rafting.
As you leave Biltmore, stop by the Gate House Shop for a last look at Biltmore wines and collectibles.
