 EDITOR REVIEW: BILTMORE AREA. Western North Carolina's beloved "castle on the hill" resides on an 8000-acre estate, complete with manicured gardens, woodlands, and an award-winning winery (the nation's most visited). Built in the late 19th-century by George Washington Vanderbilt II, the chateau-inspired home is an opulent example of the wealth acquired during America's Gilded Age. The magnificent 250-room mansion ranks as the largest private residence in the country and offers self-guided tours that can easily last for hours. 
Biltmore Estate remains a popular destination in Asheville. George Vanderbilt's masterpiece, a castle tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, opens its doors every single day of the year. Allow yourself hours to tour the centerpiece 250-room French Renaissance chateau, formal gardens, horse barn, and winery. Biltmore also offers a variety of outdoor activities such as horseback riding, mountain biking, rafting, and hiking along the many walking trails crisscrossing the grounds. For a four-wheel-drive adventure, try the Land Rover Experience Driving School's off-the-road, instructor-driven Adventure Course on the Biltmore grounds. Don't Miss: In addition to the regular tours of the house, Biltmore offers rooftop and behind-the-scenes tours which allow visitors up-close looks at the architecture and inner-workings of Vanderbilt's glorious estate.
