George Vanderbilt first opened Biltmore, his magnificent private estate, to family and friends on Christmas Eve 1895. Today, his descendants continue welcoming guests with that same spirit of gracious hospitality.
Biltmore is still an oasis from the cares of the world—and for a limited time you can save $90 on a new Annual Pass—so there’s no better time to become a member of our Passholder family.
Now more than ever, welcoming Passholders and guests back to the estate provides critical economic support as our region continues to recover from the effects of Tropical Storm Helene.
From the spacious halls of America’s Largest Home® to our historic gardens—plus Antler Hill Village & Winery—your Annual Pass provides all the exclusive benefits we reserve solely for Passholders.
As you explore the renowned architecture of America’s Largest Home, you’ll discover treasures collected from around the world including priceless art, furnishings and tapestries.
Biltmore House is not just a showcase for George Vanderbilt’s collections, however; it is also an extraordinary family home that reflects the height of late 19th century Gilded Age style. Designed by Richard Morris Hunt, the foremost architect in the world at that time, Biltmore is the culmination of his vision and design that continues to inspire guests today.
The estate’s glorious grounds were planned by Frederick Law Olmsted. Known as the father of American landscape architecture, Olmsted designed Biltmore’s spectacular setting to delight the Vanderbilts and their guests. As a Passholder, you can experience the transformation in every season: colorful leaves in fall, frosty winter weather, the grand blooms of spring, and the lush greenery of summer.
With the purchase of your Biltmore Annual Pass, you and your children 16 and younger will enjoy unlimited free visits for a year along with savings on dining, shopping, overnight stays, and more. In addition, your Pass purchase helps support Biltmore’s mission to preserve this National Historic Landmark for future generations to enjoy.
