Biltmore Estate

**97whitevert** · 11-17-2002, 10:33 AM

A tour of the Biltmore estate is being planned for the weekend of Dec 7. NO time has been set yet, but will see how many are interested and we can decide at that point. for those who don't know, Biltmore was a home built for Geo. Vanderbilt and is absolutely breathtaking, and even more so at Christmas. Included will be a tour of the winery and gardens/greenhouses. There is an inn on the grounds for those that are willing to spend $$$. There is also the Grove Park Inn close by, also $$$. Othere than that, I will check out hotels in the area, there are plenty to chose from. You can check out the webssite www.biltmoreestate.com Let me know if you are interested: lmilstead22@yahoo.com

I would be very interested in going...BUT seeing as it's so far for me to travel I'll have to see if I can make it!

NOT!

Edith and I toured there back in the mid 80's. Quite a place to see.

Have Fun.
