THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE TRIP.  IT IS NOW SOLD OUT.  THERE IS ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY OF CANCELLATIONS SHOULD YOU WISH TO JOIN THE WAIT LIST.  

This festive 2 night trip offers a full immersion into the Biltmore House during the Holiday Season!  

  No other residence in America offers a more authentic, original, and inspiring view of life during the Guided Age at Christmas than the Biltmore House.  George Vanderbilt first welcomed guests to Biltmore Estate on Christmas Eve in 1895 and today his legacy and love of entertaining are shared with you in a self-guided audio tour hosted by Estate Curators.  Thousands of ornaments, dozens of trees, garland, wreaths, vintage toys and holiday fragrances greet you in every room!  The Estate visit experience also offers time to enjoy the Conservatory bedecked with hundreds of blooming poinsettias.  There is time to enjoy wine tasting at the Biltmore Winery, visit the Biltmore Legacy Exhibit featuring rarely seen private collections from the family and an outdoor model train display in Antler Hill Village.   You can enjoy lunch on your own with plenty of offerings on the Estate grounds.  

Refunds are possible if the trip can be resold to another passenger or I can get refunds from the hotel or restaurants included in the trip.  There are no refunds on the cost of the bus or the Biltmore House admission.   Trip insurance  is also available for purchase through this website.  

I love the National Gingerbread House Competition and Holiday Dinner at the Omni Grove Park Inn and plan to share it with you on the second night of our trip.  This is a highly popular event with limited attendance each evening.  If I am unable to secure this experience, we will enjoy another one of Asheville's holiday dinner experiences.  Once you are registered, you will receive update emails on the status of the Gingerbread House Competition.  

Please follow CDC current guidelines and stay up to date on vaccines to protect yourself from variants during travel and exposure to crowds.  

Not all rooms of the Biltmore House are accessible.  Anyone limited to visiting all the public rooms can view them from the video lounge on the second floor.
