Make the Most of Your Biltmore Visit

  • Allow plenty of time.

    You may be amazed by the size of the estate and all the things to see and do. It's good to allow two days to see the House, Gardens, and Antler Hill Village and Winery. If you only have one day, try one of our recommended itineraries to get the most from your visit. Allow two days or more if your visit includes guided tours and outdoor activities, such as biking, hiking, horseback riding, rafting, kayaking. Consider staying a night or two with our Biltmore hotel packages or Inn on Biltmore Estate Packages.
