Christmas at Biltmore

November 1–January 4 » asheville
Each year, the Biltmore Estate is covered extensively with festive wreaths, trees, and holiday lights to celebrate the Christmas season. Plus, enjoy special holiday menus at the Biltmore dining establishments. In the evenings, the house is transformed by candlelight luminaries and live music to transport you back in time. Be sure to check out the Christmas tree in the Banquet Hall—it’s the tallest one, and always decorated with lights and ornaments. » One Lodge St.; Daily, 9 a.m.- 8 p.m.; prices vary; (800) 411-3812; www.biltmore.com
