Christmas in the South - Holiday Festivals and Christmas Lights

Christmas at Biltmore
November 6, 2009 – January 3, 2010
Asheville, North Carolina

America's largest house, Biltmore House on the magnificent Biltmore Estate, is even more magical than usual throughout the holidays, giving new meaning to the lyrics, Deck the halls with boughs of holly. Continuing the traditions that began when George W. Vanderbilt first welcomed his friends and family to Biltmore on Christmas Eve 1895, the estate features more than 40 Christmas trees, miles of ribbon, garland and lights. To add to the sparkle, holiday music performed by ensembles fills the halls with seasonal cheer and inspirational holiday demonstrations are offered throughout the season.

Daytime Visits
Daytime guests may enjoy special complimentary seminars and activities on select days throughout the estate, including tree and wreath decorating, centerpiece designing, complimentary wine tastings at the Winery, pictures with St. Nick and more.
