Gardens

Written by

Biltmore’s formal gardens and pastoral grounds began from seed in the heart and mind of Frederick Law Olmsted, America’s father of landscape architecture. Hired by George Vanderbilt to create a European country setting, Olmsted achieved that goal, and then some. The variety of Biltmore’s gardens attracts garden lovers, master gardeners, and hobbyists every day from all over the world.

Agriculture and Sustainability

Written by

When George Vanderbilt created Biltmore, he envisioned a country estate modeled after private manors in Europe. His vision was for his home to be completely self-sufficient and a model for the future. Farming on the estate dates back to before the construction of Biltmore House was complete. Today, the estate continues to practice agriculture that produces beef, lamb, pork, and field crops for on-site dining; as well as a 50-acre vineyard that grows Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes.

Biltmore House

Written by

As America’s Largest Home, Biltmore House has captured the imagination of millions with its sheer size – the square footage of four football fields – the 35 bedrooms, the 43 bathrooms, and a full-sized swimming pool in the basement. Yet it was also a warm and welcoming home where a family lived and a little girl grew up. George Vanderbilt’s dream lives on as one of western North Carolina’s rarest treasures.
