Biltmore's Conservatory
A Hidden Gem that Shines Year Round
In addition to 8,000 acres to explore, be sure to visit our soaring glass-ceilinged Conservatory. Beautifully bedecked with poinsettias and an array of exotic orchids during the Christmas and winter seasons, this hidden gem dazzles year round with an ever-present abundance of lush, fragrant tropical displays.
Completed in 1896, Biltmore’s Conservatory features tall arched windows that look out onto the terraced butterfly garden and Walled Garden beyond.
White benches among displays of bright red poinsettias, crisp white orchids, and dense green tropical foliage offer a perfect setting for holiday photos in the Conservatory.
At Christmas, vibrant red poinsettias and an abundance of tropical plants and trees—including the banana tree that has captured this tiny Biltmore guest’s attention—await you in the Conservatory.
