Date activities for summer at Biltmore

There’s no better place to enjoy a summertime date with your sweetheart than Biltmore. Our 8,000-acre estate has a variety of activities for couples—whether you’re looking for a romantic offering or just a unique way to spend quality time with your special someone.

Here are a few recommendations for planning a date to Biltmore that you won’t want to miss.

4. Make a date to reconnect with nature

One great Biltmore date option is to explore our Blue Ridge Mountain backyard. Located in Antler Hill Village, our Outdoor Adventure Center offers a wide range of activities for reconnecting with Mother Nature. Options include private carriage rides (very romantic!), guided horseback trail rides, river float trips, and more.

3. Savor handcrafted vintages at our winery

What could be more romantic that sipping award-winning wines? Another fantastic date option, a visit to Biltmore Estate Winery in Antler Hill Village is perfect for the novice and connoisseur alike. Enjoy a free tasting of up to five of our best selling reds, whites, and rosés in our Tasting Room or unwind at the Wine Bar where you can savor our full range of handcrafted Biltmore wines.

2. Escape from the ordinary

From America’s Largest Home® to our Blue Ridge Mountain backyard, there’s more to discover at Biltmore than you may have imagined. The Outdoor Adventure Center offers a wide range of activities that you’ll both enjoy, and our expert guides can help you learn a new skill like falconry or fly fishing.

Of course, the most perfect date of all may be simply relaxing and enjoying time together, which is easy to do at Biltmore. If exploring at your own pace is your preference, consider becoming Annual Passholders and you’ll have a year of unlimited visits to find your favorite spots and hidden gems around the estate!
