Biltmore Winery Tours & Wine Tasting

Your Biltmore admission ticket includes access to our Winery, plus a complimentary wine tasting! The Winery is located on the estate in Antler Hill Village. Open daily from noon to 5 p.m., the Winery is a perfect place to relax and unwind during your Biltmore visit. (Hours subject to change; see biltmore.com for current hours of operation.)

Enjoy a complimentary wine tasting in the Winery’s Tasting Room (photo at top) with expert guidance from our Winery hosts. Choose from a variety of Biltmore wines including sweet whites like Chenin Blanc and dry reds like Cabernet Sauvignon.

Whether you're interested in sampling wines and learning more about winemaking, or just shopping and relaxing with some delicious food and wine, there's so much to do! The Winery is located about five miles from Biltmore House in Antler Hill Village on the estate. It's near The Inn on Biltmore Estate® and just steps away from Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate®. Enter the Winery through the historic tunnel that was once part of the original Biltmore Dairy operation, then head to the tasting room.

After your tasting, visit our Wine Shop to select your new favorite Biltmore wines to enjoy at home.          

Browse gourmet foods, cooking accessories, and gifts in the fantastic Wine Shop. Join the Vanderbilt Wine Club® and enjoy exclusive access to a variety of members-only social events, exclusive first releases, handcrafted award-winning wines, and many other benefits (including up to 25% off wines). Four times a year, receive three special vintages from the Club category of your choice: red, white, mixed, or sweet. (If three bottles per shipment isn’t enough, opt for our 6-Bottle or 12-Bottle membership.)

Have a seat at the Wine Bar beneath the Winery Clock Tower with many wines by the glass, plus small plates featuring artisan cheeses, charcuterie, and chocolate truffles. There's an outdoor area perfect for unwinding after a day of touring.

Biltmore Wine Tasting Tips

• Be sure to ask your host questions about the wines and wine tasting.
• Wine tasting is a social activity, so feel free to talk about what you see, smell, and taste.
• Notice the color and clarity of each wine as you hold it to the light.
• Place your nose at the rim of the glass and inhale deeply to catch the wine's "bouquet."
• Hold the wine on your tongue a few seconds, then “slurp” air through it to take advantage of additional flavors released by exposure to the air.
• Note the crisp refreshment of our white wines and the more full-bodied taste of our red wines (with an aftertaste that lingers)—those are sure signs of good wines.
• Most of all, have fun!
