It's a beautiful house and ground. Get the audio guide. It tells a bit more about the Vanderbilt family as you walked around the house. Spend some time to explore other parts of the estate too, Antler Hill and the winery. The stable area has cute shops.

My wife, son and I went to the Biltmore Estate - our first time. We all were very impressed. It is worth the extra money to rent the audio units. These recorded information gives you more info then even the handouts have written there. The house is incredible! WOW - to have that much money, build a house of that... More

This is truly an awesome experience of the home of the rich and famous. To be able to see how the other half once lived is amazing. Plan on one long day to tour the home, gardens and surrounding area, including the winery tour and farm area. Self guided tour of the home takes a couple hours plus. We saved... More

Loved this beautiful 450 room estate and winery with breathtaking views and amazing gardens.

Such a deal since you need more than a day... More

Breath taking, incredible gardens to walk and stroll leisurely at your own pace. The main house is luxurious, and georgeous especially for the time period in which it was built. The self guided walking tour is magnificant and informative. Really a beautiful place to go early and spend the day, bring a picnic basket or buy your food there.

Heard about this estate and decided to stop by. While I don't think they need to charge $58 a ticket to see it, it was a lovely estate and something to say I've seen.

Although the tickets seemed expensive, you save $ 10 by booking online. Timed tour but self guided. No pressure to rush through each room. Guides very helpful and informative. Good selection of wines to taste in the winery.

This house is truly cool! We loved the gardens and the interior of the home. Don't miss the Winery as the wines are quite good and you can sit on the patio and enjoy a glass. Well worth a visit.

beautiful, surprising, historic, awesome! The workmanship was amazing and Vanderbilt's forward thinking was inspiring!
