10) Garden Railway Train Exhibit
This Exhibit was part of the 2018 Smithsonian Botanical Garden Exhibit, which was rated as one of the top attractions to see in Washington DC!
9) Biltmore taught me that Collard Greens are yummy!
This one surprised me too. Honestly, I’ve never been a fan of collard greens and never thought I would. It never occurred to me that Biltmore Estate would be the place to change my mind. And yet, here we are.
8) Stories from the trolley drivers
What I really enjoyed this year, was stories shared by the trolley drivers that drove me from the parking lot to the Biltmore house.
7) Spring Blooms
I don’t care hod many years in a row I see the Spring Blooms at Biltmore. They’re breathtaking and there is always something new to see. Depending on what time of the Spring you visit, you’ll see different plants in bloom and in different stages. You could literally visit every week during the Spring and it will look like a different place each time.
6) Stick Works
This large-scale outdoor sculpture entitled Free as a Bird made it’s appearance in April of 2021 and will stick around until January 9th,2022.
5) Restaurant visits
You already know about my love of the Stable Cafe at the Biltmore house. That’s my usual go-to when visiting Biltmore.
in 2021 I decided I needed to familiarize myself with other restaurants in Antler Hill Village.
The Creamery: This is a great little spot for a pastry, cookies, ice cream or to grab a refreshing drink. MMMMMM . . just thinking about it makes my mouth water!
Cedrics Tavern: Enjoy global pub fare at Cedric’s which is an Open Table Diner’s Choice Award’-winning restaurant.
Enjoy live local music in the bar and seasonal out door dining.
While they do all ow walk in’s, I suggest making reservations. this is a popular spot and the wait can be long if you don’t call ahead.
Smokehouse food truck: This is a great grab-and-go option served from a vintage truck. They serve Carolina barbeque and other Southern favorites that will not disappoint. Choose from pulled pork, chicken or brisket add on some hush puppies, coleslaw or aged white cheddar mac’n cheese with your choice of Eastern NC vinegar sauce, South Carolina mustard sauce or a smoky tomato sauce. The brisket was moist and perfect. I could have eaten it without sauce, it was so delicious on it’s own. The mac’n cheese was outstanding! I highly recommend!
Bistro: Located in the Village Hotel this restaurant offers estate-raised and regionally sourced ingredients. Even the honey butter that was served with the artisnal bread was made with honey sourced from the bees that are tended right there on the estate.
Choose from pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads and other seasonal dishes.
They have an impressive wine list too.
I had the french onioin soup. Look at that cheesy perfection! Don’t even get me started on the juicy grilled steak sandwich. I’m definitely going to order that again!
As a bonus, I got $4 off my order for being an annual passholder.
4) The Vanderbilt’s at Home and Abroad Exhibit
The Vanderbilts at Home and Abroad exhibition located in Antler Hill Village offers guests an opportunity to view treasures from the Biltmore collection that gives you a peek into their lifestyle and journeys.
The extra good news is that there is no additional cost to see this exhibit. Access to this exhibit is included with Biltmore daytime admission.
3) The Lagoon!
Although I’ve rode past the lagoon many times, I’ve never stopped to see what it was all about until 2021. It’s a peaceful spot to row a boat, ride bikes, go horseback riding, take a carriage rides, wildlife, have a picnic, go fishing, and watch the sunset. It’s one of the most stunning views of the Biltmore House that you can get from a distance as well!
2) Roof Top Tour
I want to see this tour in every season! I went on this tour last year, and I loved it! But it was later int he winter season so the view of the grounds were pretty barren. This year I went back a little earlier and captured more fall foliage.
1) Carriage ride
This comes in as #1 because I waited so ling for it. Carriage rides are highly dependent on weather and availability.
