Experience History, Luxury

We are halfway through the mid-winter break for .  If you have yet to escape, there is still time.

The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, is well worth the three-and-a-half hour drive. Guests are invited to visit the historic home of George Vanderbilt. The 250-room mansion covers four acres of floor space. Guests can stroll through the palatial home on a self-guided tour or, for a nominal fee take an audio-guided tour. In addition to viewing the home, guests are also welcome to meander through the surrounding grounds, which includes a garden, a greenhouse and wooded parks.  For no additional charge, the Biltmore Estate Winery is also open to guests.

If you are looking to get away before the week is over, tickets are available for purchase here or at the estate. Adult tickets are $39, which is $20 less than the regular season price. Now through March 31, children who are 16 years old and younger will be admitted free.

If you can't visit this week, don't worry. You can get an even better ticket price if you visit before April 2, when the regular season begins. Purchase your tickets online seven days in advance of your visit and adult admission is only $29.
