New Year's at the Biltmore

Well, we finally made it to Ashville to see the Biltmore! It was so worth it, that place is incredible. On Dec. 30th we did the candlelight tour followed by dinner at the Winery. The Christmas decorations in the house were unbelievable as was the house, it was our first time being inside. Dinner at the Winery was perfect, the food was delicious. New Year's eve we went back and did a "behind the scenes" tour in the house. I highly recommend it, just gives you a little more insight into the life of the Vanderbilt's in the house. After the tour and lunch at the Stable Cafe (another must) we went and explored the gardens, farms, stable, and barnyard. I'll post the pictures in parts since there are so many...

The first pics are at the entrance gate and back to the Winery, followed by pics around the House and Stable area. The last two are from the Candlelight tour:

Now I just can't wait to go back again when the tulips are in bloom and it's a little warmer!
