Guests may bring a personal bag no larger than 19″ x 14″ x 9″ into Biltmore House. For more information, please review Estate Policies.
Because cash payment is not accepted at all estate locations, we recommend use of credit, debit, or Biltmore Gift Cards.
The estate opens at 8:30am. Hours vary daily. Use our Hours of Operation calendar to plan your visit.
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.
The amount of time you spend in Biltmore House is up to you, as your visit is self-paced. The Biltmore House Audio Guide has an approximate run time of one hour, but we recommend you allow one and a half to two hours to fully experience the beauty and grandeur of America’s Largest Home®.
Dress comfortably. Wear walking shoes and layers for the changing mountain weather.
Should you wish to dine at either The Dining Room or Library Lounge at our four-star Inn, please note that each has a dress code, and review it prior to your visit.
