Biltmore tickets purchased at the Inn are $50/person for our guests and are good for a free second day. The gated daytime admission price is $62/person during Christmas at Biltmore. Additionally, you’ll hear the sounds of holiday cheer, with storytellers telling Christmas tales, as well as carolers, choirs and musicians performing traditional songs. Here’s a cool time-lapse video from Biltmore Insider of the raising of the 2007 tree:ĭancers will be performing in the Winter Garden as well during Christmas at Biltmore. The 2010 Christmas at Biltmore celebration starts on Friday, November 5, and from then until January 2, you can expect to see the grand sights of the season, Biltmore-style: hundreds of poinsettias and wreaths, thousands of twinkling lights, miles of garland, and decorated trees around every corner, including an evergreen “forest” of trees and shrubs in front of the house and a 35-foot fraser in the seven-story Banquet Hall (a Biltmore tradition). It was Christmas Eve of 1895 when George Vanderbilt opened his home to friends and family for the first time, so it’s a special holiday celebration that Biltmore continues to this day. The 175,000-square-foot home is dressed to the nines all throughout the year, but she really looks magnificent at Christmastime.
