The Biltmore House Winery Thurs June 10th




After touring the Biltmore House, we drove an additional 3 miles on the property to their winery. A lot has changed since Yvonne and I were there in 1993. The wine was good and their reserve wines were excellent. They produce around 240,000 cases of wine per year, of which 30% comes from their own vineyards and the rest from Northern California. The wine caves were 100 years old and originally part of their dairy operation. Over 600,000 people pass through their tasting room each year. In the afternoon Aaron and I visited one of the local Micro Brewery's in Asheville and then barbqued dinner at the campground.
