Biltmore Trip ‘23
This blog post is about 3 generations of gal pals taking on one of my favorite location “wins”, The Biltmore Estates!
I know by show of hands, a few of you have been to the Biltmore Estates located in the beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. This trip was my third, but this trip was very special to me because it was a girl’s trip! My mom, my daughter and I headed to Biltmore Estates on the first weekend of Fall, and it was a gorgeous weekend!
Doesn’t it take your breath away! Seeing this home never gets old to me!
My mom and I planned to take a trip to Biltmore back in the summer because they were featuring Italian Renaissance Live by Grande Experiences. She’s a former art teacher so I suggested she and I check it out! And what better place to see life sized, up close and personal digital Italian art than at the Biltmore! Also, they had a sweet deal going on in which we could get a 2 day pass (one day for the main house and art exhibit and the next day a grounds pass!). This deal was offered during the summer months and we caught one of the last weekends. Below are some of our pictures from the exhibit.
I’ve always wanted to be inside Botticelli’s Venus seashell!
Hey Mom!
Next, was the tour of the house. Mom and I have been inside at least once, but it was my daughter’s first time and she compared it to Belle’s castle in Beauty and the Beast.
Her audio guide was a child friendly one :)
We also visited another portion of the estate called Antler Hill Village. I enjoy this part of the estate because you get a beautiful glimpse of the fields, people biking, horseback riding and it’s also where you can partake in their complimentary wine tasting. We had to skip that part because all group members have to be 21 and up (obviously lol).
Antler Hill is kid friendly as it features a mini farm for the children to see farm animals up close and personal and a playground. They also have vintage farm equipment for photo ops as well. Oh and ice cream!!! (which I ate before I even took a picture of it!).
Sunflowers as far as the eye can see!!
On day two, we had a grounds pass, so no entry into the main house or art exhibit. To be honest, the grounds are my absolute favorite!!!!!!! If I stayed closer, I’d definitely invest in a season pass just to walk the grounds all four seasons of the year.
We also went inside the Conservatory. I forgot to take a picture of the actual building, but I did snap a few pics of my favorite plants.
Overall, it was a successful trip! The weather was beautiful and memories were made for all 3 generations :)
