Biltmore
George Vanderbilt first opened Biltmore, his magnificent private estate, to family and friends on Christmas Eve 1895. Today, his descendants continue welcoming guests with that same spirit of gracious hospitality.
Biltmore is still an oasis from the cares of the world—and our limited-time offer on Annual Passes invites you to make this year memorable.
From the spacious halls of America’s Largest Home® to our historic gardens, grounds, and 8,000-acre Blue Ridge Mountain backyard, your Annual Pass provides exclusive access to everything Biltmore offers.
As you explore the renowned architecture of America’s Largest Home, you’ll discover treasures collected from around the world including priceless art, furnishings and tapestries.
Biltmore House is not just a showcase for George Vanderbilt’s collections, however; it is also an extraordinary family home that reflects the height of late 19th century Gilded Age style. Designed by Richard Morris Hunt, the foremost architect in the world at that time, Biltmore is the culmination of his vision and design that continues to inspire guests today.
The estate’s glorious grounds were planned by Frederick Law Olmsted. Known as the father of American landscape architecture, Olmsted designed Biltmore’s spectacular setting with formal and informal gardens, open woodland meadows, and acres of managed forests that stretch away on all sides.
Annual Passholders can wander at will through Olmsted’s living masterpiece, including miles of trails across Biltmore’s 8,000-acre backyard. Every season transforms the property as visitors enjoy leaf-peeping in fall, frosty winter weather, grand blooms of spring and the lush greenery of summer.
When you purchase a Biltmore Annual Pass, you’ll receive exclusive Passholder benefits including exclusive access to the estate, bringing children 16 and younger for free, special savings on dining, shopping, overnight stays and more.
In addition, your Pass purchase also helps support Biltmore’s mission to preserve this National Historic Landmark for future generations. The upkeep can be extensive on a destination that includes a 250-room French chateau and acres of historic gardens and grounds, but many believe the estate is well worth preserving.
Take advantage of this limited-time offer on Annual Passes to discover the beloved traditions of Christmas at Biltmore and holiday illumination of Antler Hill Village & Winery, plus special pricing on both Candlelight Christmas Evenings tickets and admission rates for the multi-sensory experience of Van Gogh Alive. Purchase your new Annual Pass for $199+ tax, November 1–December 31, 2021, online only at biltmore.com/passoffer.
