Health & Safety

  • Am I required to wear a face covering?

    Per current CDC guidance and the latest Buncombe County mandate, the use of face coverings indoors and while on Biltmore House parking lot shuttles is required for all Biltmore employees and guests at least 5 years of age, regardless of vaccination status.

    We greatly appreciate your kindness and understanding as we follow safety requirements.

  • Will estate-wide shuttle transportation be available?

    At this time, we do not offer estate-wide transportation.

    We offer complimentary shuttle service to Biltmore House from parking lots C, D, and E only when lots A and B (walking distance lots) are full.

    Complimentary shuttle service from Biltmore House to the Conservatory in the Walled Garden is available April through October.
