Biltmore Estate

I saw the site driving west from Wilmington, NC one day some time ago. I lacked the funds to take the tour of the inside so I just gazed at it for awhile from ahwile. Very impressive and hard to fathom how one family could live in such an ostentatious place. The Biltmore is the embodiment of the Guilded Age!

beautiful
most extrodanary
wonderful place
i cant wait to visit again
i did the tour of the estate
loved it
the winery was wonderful :)
very classy
it was such a getaway…

It was around Christmas time and I was on a school trip. They had a replica of the Biltmore Estate made into a gingerbread house. This place is lovely. Great for a wedding or romantic getaway.

The building and grounds were lovely. They had their own “village”. Read that they had their own peasants. I wanna have peasants. And a winery. And a private deer park. Oh, oh and air conditioning, oh wait, I have that and they don’t….

Tips: go on a cool day, wear good shoes, do the behind the scenes tour and don’t, repeat don’t, force teenagers to go.

as someone who loves to cook, the kitchen in this place was magnificent. put on your walking shoes. the estate is huge! i loved it, though, and would go back in a heartbeat.
