Candlelight Christmas Evenings at the Biltmore Estate

September 29th, 2009 by stacy


While visiting our Asheville, NC  Bed and Breakfast experience a magnificant evening at the Biltmore House during Candlelight Christmas Evenings. Firelight and candlelight fill the house with a warm glow and accent delicate ornaments and priceless treasures. You will see over 50 decorated trees ranging from 4 to 35 feet tall inside the house and another 50 decorated trees outside the house.  Approximately 300 poinsettias and 500 other plants at any given time adorn the house, which are replaced midway through the season.  There are over 30,000 lights in the house, and around 125 candles. Decorating all of  the trees require over 25,000 ornaments. Needless to say Christmas at the Biltmore Estate is over the top.

To help you get into the holiday spirit there will also be choirs singing European carols, vintage ballroom dancers, and dramatic Christmas readings. The Front Lawn of  the Biltmore House sets the scene with a sparkling holiday illumination of evergreens bathed in thousands of twinkling lights.

Candlelight evening  tickets are being offered from November 6 through January 2, 2110 and must be purchased through the Biltmore. Candlelight tickets include evening admission to the Biltmore House and daytime estate visit to the Winery, Gardens and Riverbend Farm.  Make this a must see attraction while visiting this Bed and Breakfast in Asheville, North Carolina.
