Ultimate scenic views abound and fall gardens are bursting with thousands of colorful mums, vibrant forests and rolling countryside. By foot, by horse or by Segway are just some of the ways guests can enjoy the colors. At the Outdoor Center, activities can be reserved including carriage rides, horseback riding, Segway tours and Land Rover Experience Driving School. River Bend Farm welcomes curiosities with demonstrations of what it was like to live and work on the estate in the 1890s, including a barnyard full of farm animals to visit. In addition to the great outdoors, Biltmore House, America’s largest home, offers an array of indoor beauty, complete with the Vanderbilt family’s original collection of furnishings, art and antiques. Festive menus can be savored at one of the estate’s five restaurants, which celebrate a legacy of sustainable agriculture, serving fresh produce grown in the gardens right on the estate.
