Biltmore Estate - Asheville, North Carolina

Before leaving Asheville I spent a day touring the grounds of the exceedingly impressive Biltmore Estate. It was inspired by the Chateaus of the Loir valley of France and built by George Vanderbilt between 1889 and 1895. It's touted as being Americas largest home. A tour of the 8,000 acre estate includes the house, gardens, and winery. I've posted a few photos but unfortunately pictures are not allowed to be taken inside the home.
