    An update, at minute 9:10, the archival photo of the employee Christmas party is c. 1918 not 1916.

    I was able to visit the Biltmore At Christmas like 10yrs ago and it was absolutely breathtaking. I mean the experience was like straight out of a fairytale because of how beautiful it is but also what happened while I was there.
    My best friend and I had finished the entire tour and we went into the shops. We then stepped outside in a courtyard where they were serving homemade hot chocolate. Then, like it was on cue, it started snowing. Then, we look over and a young man was going down on one knee and he pulled out a ring and proposed to his girlfriend with their family watching near by.
    I’m telling you, the entire day and visit was so amazing. I will never forget that visit as long as I live. But even without the snow and proposal, it would have been magical. Those were just added bonuses. 🎄 ❤

    I saw Roberta Flack in concert on the front lawn at Biltmore House. It was a gloriously beautiful summer’s evening that melded into a breathtaking sunset against the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was surreal and magical…❤️

    My husband and I were there 17 years ago-I can still remember that feeling seeing that gorgeous estate as we drove down the entrance to it! One of my favorite paintings is of the architect, Frederick Law Olmstead- the rich earthy color palette is exceptional on that life sized painting. I have to say, we were struck by the stellar achitecture, perfectly manicured grounds, antiques- and paintings! What struck us MOST about Biltmore was how the architect made it feel warm and 'homey'- yes, it is a huge mansion with huge ceilings, but it actually felt warm, inviting, homey- it felt so inviting-- a commendable feat for a huge mansion of stone! It is a real home, and I can imagine back in the day, the family entertaining in that beautiful space with the fireplaces running, mulled cider, gifts, candles, pets and it all pouring out out to their guests! AMAZING! We took the roof-top tour and I highly recommend it- it was VERY SAFE and SECURE - and I am scared of heights! :) OH, and PLEASE take the wine tasting and when you return home if you live far away as we do, order their wines onine- spectacular! MERRY CHRISTMAS BIltmore! Kimberly

    Christmas at Biltmore is my favorite time of the year! I have been several times and the Candlelight is my most favorite! I treat myself to Biltmore almost every year for my Birthday and is always Magical! Thank you to the Biltmore staff for your dedication and hard work! WELL DONE!

    Everyone should experience Biltmore but especially Christmas at this magnificent house and grounds. I had always wanted to see Biltmore and I walked through the door with tears in my eyes. It was one of the most beautiful and magical experiences I’ve ever had. Plus go on every tour offered in the house and grounds. Learn about this amazing family and legacy.
    Spend time at Biltmore take in every moment. A giant lesson in history, kindness and forward thinking people.
    Thank you to every guide and person who work so hard to make this one of the most unique and special places in the world.

It truly is hard to imagine just how massive this home is. Fantastic job to the team of designers. You have captured the essence of this home, the historical value of the area and time and the legacy of the Vanderbilt family. Shared this video with our #2 Granddaughter, thinking this might be a perfect trip to take together. Thanks again to the tremendously talented team who make this possible! Happy Holidays to all! ♥️🌲♥️

    If you have ever designed and put together Christmas trees and display, you know the work..hard work. I would start during the Thanksgiving vacation..long weekend and have it done when everyone comes by …then down it comes and put away right after first of Jan. Scaffolds, ladders and lighting….thousands and thousands and thousands of lights. I don’t know that I would ever contract to do it again. I would love to design and ‘boss’ but being a worker, designer and boss…too much. Great pleasure to see it finished.

    Hi, how is the regular admission to the house during Christmas season different from the Candlelight tour? If we go during the day, are the lights not up during the day or something like that?

    • @Biltmore
      @Biltmore  Год назад +1

      Great question! By day, the elegant rooms of the house shimmer, adorned with Christmas trees, ribbons, garlands, and thousands of lights. In the evenings, the addition of flickering candlelight, cozy flames in the fireplaces, and live music invite you to imagine yourself a guest at the first Vanderbilt family Christmas in 1895.

    I love the Biltmore. We’ve been there many times. One year we bought the seasons pass because we were told we’d get to see the Christmas lights. We go at Christmas. Decorated magnificently. At 5pm we were escorted out. I was confused. Apparently, we needed to pay an additional fee to go back in to see everything lighted up. That was NOT what we were told when we bought the seasons pass.
    I was seriously bummed.
