Tour America's largest private home, Biltmore in Asheville, during this 3 day/2 night trip. Immerse yourself in a daytime self guided audio tour of the House, learning about not only the history of the Vanderbuilt family home but also about the sheer number of decorations. Though not yet revealed for this year, the numbers will be similar for the 2026 Holiday Season. Last year's visitors enjoyed the splendor of a 35 ft. Fraser Fir raised by 50 team members in the Banquet Hall. The House Tour included 36 trees adorned with 10,100 ornaments and 45,000 lights. Additionally, 7,740 yards of ribbon and 205 wreaths, swags and kissing balls graced the rooms and hallways. Another important number adds to your experience this year. Following the morning House Tour, a certified Biltmore Ambassador guides our bus along part of the 8,000 acres of the Estate grounds sharing additional, fascinating stories about the family and self-sustaining farm operation. There will be a stop at Antler Hill Village. The Village connects the past through Historic Exhibits and Farmyard demos while embracing the present at the Biltmore Winery and modern shops and restaurants. Following your Biltmore experience, you will have a couple of hours to explore the shops and historic architecture just outside of your hotel door, located in the heart of the Downtown Asheville.
That evening, we enjoy a visit to one of the most iconic Historic Hotels of American, The Omni Grove Park Inn, for dinner and the National Gingerbread House Competition. Following dinner, a stroll through the hotel celebrates the design, innovation and tradition of this amazing competition. Each year contestants travel from 30 states and Canada and spend more than 500 hours constructing their entries.
We enjoy another traditional Holiday treat experience on the way home, with a stop near Winston Salem for a tour and tasting at the famous Mrs Hanes Handmade Moravian Cookie Factory. These cookies have been created and enjoyed around the world for seven generations. To this day, they are still hand-rolled, hand-cut and hand-packed and you get to meet the cookie artisans "known as the Rockin Rollers" who make the cookie magic happen!
