It's hard to believe, but the holiday season is fast approaching and now is the time to make your reservations to experience "Christmas at Biltmore".

Tim and I had the opportunity to take our children when they were very young. We were traveling back to Ohio from spending the holiday with my brother and his family in Georgia, when we decided to take a side trip to Biltmore. Words cannot describe how breathtaking Biltmore is at Christmas-time.

Every nook and cranny is fully decorated, the smell of live greens is intoxicating, and the beauty of the lights is outstanding.

We have not been to the Biltmore at Christmas-time since then, but every year I say "this is the year we are going!". From our location, it is less than a 2 hour drive, and I am saying it again "this is the year we are going!".

I have been looking at our calendar's and trying to pick a time when Tim, I and the four children are all available. I am starting early this year so that I can get it booked and on our calendars.

If you have the time, experiencing Biltmore at Christmas-time is really worth it! If you choose to do a self-tour, make sure you pay extra for the headphones for each of your guests. They really add to the visit by giving so much detail that you would never know on your own.

Can't make it at Christmas. Fall is also a spectacular time to visit! Click Here to view what's happening at the Biltmore during Fall and also book your trip for the holiday's.

Here's a sample of the fun that we had 3 years ago celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary at the Biltmore winery. We started with lunch, then toured the winery.
