Antler Hill Village: Biltmore's New Attraction
Join us this spring for the grand opening of a new offering at Biltmore, Antler Hill Village. Located adjacent to the Winery and River Bend Farm on our grounds, this pedestrian-friendly village will be open to guests as part of daily admission to Biltmore. This expansion of current guest offerings at the estate will include a new exhibition space, village green with live entertainment, dining, shopping, and a new outdoor adventure center. As part of this project, Biltmore Winery will be enhanced to offer a newly-designed tour and tasting areas. The existing interpretive farm area with historic barn, kitchen garden, and farmyard will be incorporated as well.
At Antler Hill Village, guests will learn more about the Vanderbilt family and George Vanderbilt's interest in agriculture and the outdoors, as well as his legacy of making Biltmore self-sustaining. Each venue will share a different story about the estate's history and offer activities including:
- The Biltmore Legacy: An exhibition space where guests will learn about the family's interests, past and present, via exhibits, interpreters, interactive displays, and a theater setting. Historic objects and furnishings will be on display, as well as current products from Biltmore For Your Home's estate-inspired designs.
- Outdoor Adventure Center: The starting point for guests wanting to explore Biltmore's 8,000 acres.
- Cedric's Tavern: One of the Vanderbilt family pets—a St. Bernard named Cedric—lends his name and likeness to this pub, featuring a relaxed atmosphere and classic fare, plus extended hours and live music.
- Village Green and Bandstand: Central village setting with live entertainment.
- Winery: The nation's most visited Winery will be enhanced with a new guest experience, sharing a key story of the estate's agricultural heritage—Biltmore Wines.
- Creamery: A tribute to the original Biltmore Dairy Bar. Guests can indulge in signature shakes, root beer floats and premium ice creams, as well as gourmet coffee and pastries.
- Traditions: A new retail setting with a focus on Biltmore hospitality, casual elegance and entertaining at home. This space will feature contemporary décor items and local crafts.
Please pardon our progress on the estate as we work to create a wonderful new space for our guests to enjoy.
