10) Garden Railway Train Exhibit
This Exhibit was part of the 2018 Smithsonian Botanical Garden Exhibit, which was rated as one of the top attractions to see in Washington DC!
9) Biltmore taught me that Collard Greens are yummy!
This one surprised me too. Honestly, I’ve never been a fan of collard greens and never thought I would. It never occurred to me that Biltmore Estate would be the place to change my mind. And yet, here we are.
8) Stories from the trolley drivers
What I really enjoyed this year, was stories shared by the trolley drivers that drove me from the parking lot to the Biltmore house.
7) Spring Blooms
I don’t care hod many years in a row I see the Spring Blooms at Biltmore. They’re breathtaking and there is always something new to see. Depending on what time of the Spring you visit, you’ll see different plants in bloom and in different stages. You could literally visit every week during the Spring and it will look like a different place each time.
6) Stick Works
This large-scale outdoor sculpture entitled Free as a Bird made it’s appearance in April of 2021 and will stick around until January 9th,2022.
5) Restaurant visits
You already know about my love of the Stable Cafe at the Biltmore house. That’s my usual go-to when visiting Biltmore.
in 2021 I decided I needed to familiarize myself with other restaurants in Antler Hill Village.
The Creamery: This is a great little spot for a pastry, cookies, ice cream or to grab a refreshing drink. MMMMMM . . just thinking about it makes my mouth water!
Cedrics Tavern: Enjoy global pub fare at Cedric’s which is an Open Table Diner’s Choice Award’-winning restaurant.
Enjoy live local music in the bar and seasonal out door dining.
While they do all ow walk in’s, I suggest making reservations. this is a popular spot and the wait can be long if you don’t call ahead.
Smokehouse food truck: This is a great grab-and-go option served from a vintage truck. They serve Carolina barbeque and other Southern favorites that will not disappoint. Choose from pulled pork, chicken or brisket add on some hush puppies, coleslaw or aged white cheddar mac’n cheese with your choice of Eastern NC vinegar sauce, South Carolina mustard sauce or a smoky tomato sauce. The brisket was moist and perfect. I could have eaten it without sauce, it was so delicious on it’s own. The mac’n cheese was outstanding! I highly recommend!
Bistro: Located in the Village Hotel this restaurant offers estate-raised and regionally sourced ingredients. Even the honey butter that was served with the artisnal bread was made with honey sourced from the bees that are tended right there on the estate.
Choose from pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads and other seasonal dishes.
They have an impressive wine list too.
I had the french onioin soup. Look at that cheesy perfection! Don’t even get me started on the juicy grilled steak sandwich. I’m definitely going to order that again!
As a bonus, I got $4 off my order for being an annual passholder.
4) The Vanderbilt’s at Home and Abroad Exhibit
The Vanderbilts at Home and Abroad exhibition located in Antler Hill Village offers guests an opportunity to view treasures from the Biltmore collection that gives you a peek into their lifestyle and journeys.
The extra good news is that there is no additional cost to see this exhibit. Access to this exhibit is included with Biltmore daytime admission.
3) The Lagoon!
Although I’ve rode past the lagoon many times, I’ve never stopped to see what it was all about until 2021. It’s a peaceful spot to row a boat, ride bikes, go horseback riding, take a carriage rides, wildlife, have a picnic, go fishing, and watch the sunset. It’s one of the most stunning views of the Biltmore House that you can get from a distance as well!
2) Roof Top Tour
I want to see this tour in every season! I went on this tour last year, and I loved it! But it was later int he winter season so the view of the grounds were pretty barren. This year I went back a little earlier and captured more fall foliage.
1) Carriage ride
This comes in as #1 because I waited so ling for it. Carriage rides are highly dependent on weather and availability.
What type of Biltmore videos would you like to see in this year? Hotel tours reviews? Restaurant reviews? an insider look at different tours and activities? Info on the history? Let me know in the comments.

Is the expert guided tour worth the money?
@@brandybrandenburg9525 I think it is. The guides are very knowledgeable and with the expert led tours you end up seeing parts of the house that you don’t get to with the self guided tour.
Fun effects! I loved the trolly and boat rides. The food looked amazing too. Still liked the food truck and bistro best! So much to do and see!
Christy, I have loved all of your Biltmore adventures! I wish I could do the Carriage ride someday - that would be AMAZING!!
Wow that looks great
Such a beautiful place. I would love to be around it
Hi, it's a great place, I think it's always worth spending your free time in such places !!!
Loved the intro to begin with that's was refreshing. Enjoyed #8 story from trolley, history about the places and fun facts. Specially my favorite is #5 Restaurants since I'm a foodie and I love those information on new hang out places. Love that.
I’d love to go back so much has been added.
The Biltmore is always gorgeous! I always love visiting! -S
LOL! cute intro. Never listen to the little devil. I'd love to see video's on what the hotels are like at biltmore.

Yum. Pastries. I bet they are yummy at Biltmore.
That’s so cool that Richie rich was filmed there! I had no idea. That makes me want to know more about the house history.
IKR! I thought that was cool too!

#5 is my favorite. the creamery. the pastries look delicious and will be great with some ice cream
I've been in the Biltmore area before, just never got into the grounds. It looks gorgeous though. The food looked amazing. That's cool that the have to those style looking trolleys. Oh yeah, that did looked familiar. I didn't realize it was Richy Rich. Wow Spring flower colors looks gorgeous. I'd say Fall must be amazing though. That Stick artwork is phenomenal. Stop you're making me hungry. 10/10 Mac and Cheese is my jam! Well done on this. I am now determined to come back and enjoy this place.
Hello!! Hahah already straight away loving your creativity - those angels and devils have got me good 😂 WOW that tour looked super interesting - those houses are insanely big 😱 The creamery looks SO delicious, holy moly those pastries look tasty!! But TBH all those restaurants look super tasty 🤤 The museum looked amazing - the clothing and old photos are so cool! Okay the carriage ride looks SO much fun!! Nothing like being carted across this grand estate in horse and carriage - the guides seem so knowledgable! Thanks so much for showing us around - new subs here!! Have a wonderful 2021 🙌🏼
The carriage right was for sure my favorite part. Can't wait to see more. Thanks for the share.
I did the rooftop tour several years ago and it is wonderful ! Any activity at Biltmore is an incredible experience.
I've been several times over the years and I always look forward to going back.
THIS is what wealth looks like,
not today's pitiful definition of "rich". LOL
This was just one of their homes, and their idea of a party was to have a couple of hundred people over for a few weeks.
WOW !
This looks like a beautiful place to visit! I think I would love to go for a walk around in the park around the estate. 😁 And it sounds like so much fun that you can see it in the different seasons! 😁 I especially enjoyed your intro with the little devil and the little angel! Hilarious! And for 2022, you can always take me for a hike! All the best!
The intro was perfect,the carriage ride is definitely my highlight, hope to be in someday. Thank you and happy new year
This is the next place I want to both visit and vlog in 2022 x

The lagoon and carriage ride look straight out of a fairy tale. 😍 I'm glad you started the buy me a coffee page

There seems to be a lot things to see and do.

ok when can I move there? :)
i really enjoy watching your videos, it would be so awesome if in this new year, you do more of travel and hotel reviews as it would help those who keep travelling, thanks for sharing.🥰
I'd love to see more info and reviews on their tours and activities. My favorite highlights are the carriage ride and the lagoon. Both so beautiful! Now that I think about it, I'd love to see hotel reviews too! Is it worth staying on property or is it best to get a nearby hotel?
Wow the free as a bird exhibit is so cool.
I like the devil and the angel on each side,nice piece of editing👍🏾
Collard greens hmmm I’m hungry now😁
Thanks for sharing
So much to do and see! I have 2 favorite highlights, 1st the trolley stories, I feel that would be a good way to get some history and fun facts about an area. 2nd the lagoon, anything outdoors is right up my alley and it looks beautiful.
Thank you for narrating your experience at Biltmore. I've never gone even though I am close by. It looks like there is a lot to see and do!
I love the Biltmore. I went in 2018 before Covid. I think its time for me to go back. 😀
Yes! It's always a good idea to go back! Especially in the Spring when you can enjoy the fresh air and gardens :)
The stick structures are incredible! This looks like a fantastic place to visit… and I would definitely be ordering the French Onion soup! Thanks for the great list… it will help for the day I can go visit!
The garden trains would be something to see for my husband. He has that scale of train but we haven’t had a chance to set it up yet at our new house
Haha that introduction was FANTASTIC!! Love how you did that!! Wow so many highlights. I thought the spring blooms were incredible. It would be great to see those this year! And I am a history nerd so it would be nice to see more about the history of the house too! But whatever you do I'm sure it will be wonderful 😊
