Join us for a fascinating tour of Biltmore’s rarely-seen West Side, plus an opportunity to taste farm-fresh, estate-grown artisanal fare!

Biltmore’s agricultural experts share George Vanderbilt’s original vision of a self-sustaining estate, the history of our working farm’s agricultural operations, and the innovative farming practices in use today. The only tour that offers guest access to the estate’s pastoral West Side, this experience includes “behind-the-scenes” looks at the estate’s Black Angus beef cattle, Berkshire hog facilities, hydroponic greenhouses, and picturesque vineyards.

The tour concludes with a glass of handcrafted Biltmore Wine and such estate-grown delights as artisanal lettuces, creamy goat cheese, thyme-infused olive oil cake, and wildflower honey.
