As day turns to dusk, the lights come on inside Biltmore House and on the Front Lawn.

The Front Lawn’s stately Christmas Tree glitters behind you as you enter Biltmore House.

As evening falls, a warm glow surrounds the festive lions at the entrance to Biltmore House.

Aglow with a twinkling tree, garlands, and a fire, the Library is at its most magnificent.

Holiday dining on the estate always includes a wide variety of delicious and beautifully decorated dessert options.

One of the most awe-inspiring walkways—and a lovely photo opportunity—is the illuminated tunnel that leads to the Winery from Antler Hill Village.

The trees, paths, and buildings of Antler Hill Village are gently illuminated for the season.
