Gathered under the festive banner of the holiday season, our group will embark on a memorable journey to the Biltmore House in Asheville. As we approach the grand estate, adorned with twinkling lights and garlands, the air hummed with anticipation. Stepping through the ornate entrance, we will be enveloped in the opulence of the Gilded Age, with every corner adorned with elegant decorations. The halls echoed with the laughter of fellow travelers as we explore the vast halls and intricate rooms, each more splendid than the last. The towering Christmas tree in the Banquet Hall stands as a beacon of cheer, its branches adorned with shimmering baubles and delicate ornaments. Outside, the sprawling gardens transformed into a winter wonderland and illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns. 

We will depart Bridgewater with lunch on the way. We will check into our hotel and have dinner (Included) and then hop aboard a Trolley! 

Hop on board the Holly Jolly Christmas Trolley for a fun and festive celebration of the season including live music and caroling!

This seasonal favorite is the perfect family activity in Asheville. It features an entertaining blend of holiday storytelling and traditional Christmas caroling.  Enjoy stories of local lore and holiday traditions, then join in with our on-board musician singing classic carols and songs of Christmas. All the while the Holly Jolly Trolley is rolling past festive holiday decorations in downtown Asheville, Biltmore Village, and the Montford and Grove Park neighborhoods.

This has all the makings of a jolly good tradition!
