  • Unless rebooked PRIOR to original visit date/time, all guided tours, outdoor activities, exhibitions, and special events lose their value.

• How long does it take to tour the estate?

  Plan on spending at least one full day at Biltmore. Because there is so much to see and do on our 8,000 acre estate—Biltmore House, its gardens and Conservatory, Antler Hill Village & Winery, our working Farmyard, as well as multiple tours, outdoor activities, shops, and dining options—we recommend taking two full days for a more complete experience.
