The first time that I visited Biltmore was on the first day of completed Christmas decor of that particular year ( early 90’s) I recall somebody saying that it was the busiest single day in the history of house, with a crowd of more than 25,000. We waited in line ( in the snow) for 2 1/4 hours to get in. In true Biltmore fashion, the staff was dispensing free hot cider, and there was live entertainment for us as we waited. It was worth it, and I have been back multiple times in all seasons
We have our tix for the evening tour and seldom miss it. I've been going to Biltmore for 50 years now and never, ever tire of the grandeur of the place.
I visited Biltmore in the fall of 1999 and as a Canadian, I will never forget it. As an avid reader I'll never forget the impressive library. I believe the guide said there were 20,000 books in 8 different languages. Such a wonderful place.
It’s so worth taking their narrated tour with a tour guide omg 😱 I was just blown away it was a spur of the moment decision but one of the best I ever made my youngest daughter was 9 years old at the time and still talks about that day. We barely had the gas to get home but it was worth every Penny. I want to go back for Xmas 🎄 one day
Something tells me that will be a dream that will surely come true one day for you Ramon. 🤗❤️🙏❤️😉 I just hope I will get to see it here when you do.🙏🎄🏘️🎄🙏
My family & I went at Christmas & the house was simply gorgeous. I would encourage everyone to visit at least 1 time at Christmas. Such a beautiful home. Well done team!
I work for the Texas Roadhouse in WV, and i was a Corp. Trainer when we opened the Roadhouse not to far from the Biltmore. And a few of us took a tour through the Biltmore. I will never forget it. You have to see it in person. I hope to revisit. Glad to see this video. God Bless you all.
Being in the hotel business for over 28 years,we started decorating the friday after thanksgiving,but it was nothing compared to the beautiful Biltmore,great job guys.
Thank you for making Christmas magical again for me, at 50 years old. I visited with a group of friends this year and I enjoyed everything. It was amazing to just enjoy the season without having to make it happen. Thank you!
Visited last week and Christmas decor was nearly completed! My husband and I will be stopping by in about a month to see the finished decor by candlelight. I love this year's theme and greatly enjoyed this peek behind the scenes.
@@theflowersmith This year's “Winter Landscapes” theme brings the outdoors inside and honors Frederick Law Olmsted’s grand achievements. We hope you and your group enjoy your visit! -H
I LOVE CHRISTMAS AT BILTMORE!! Thank you for putting this video up. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... Every year I do the same thing: I go back and look at all your past Christmas videos. I love them all. I wish there were more, but you do have a beautiful estate to run! ;) If I had a bucket list, which I don't, Christmas at Biltmore would be on the top of that list. Thank you for sharing. May I wish you all the very best Holiday Season, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and a Happy and Successful New Year!
This is beautiful, I remember the first time I saw Biltmore decorated for Christmas it was on what is now HGTV and the poinsettia tree still sticks in my mine I had never seen anything like it before.
So beautiful. You all are wonderful. I hope to experience this beautiful wonderland one day. Only at Christmas of course because it is the most wonderful time of the year. 🌲☃️🌲♥️🌲☃️🌲
Not a big Christmas person. But going here usually gets me somewhat in the spirit of the season. Everything about Biltmore is mind-boggling. We love visiting any time of year. We are in Chattanooga so we can leave the Estate as late as 6 pm or so on the day before we have to go to work and get home at a good hour.
Just wanted to bring to your attention that the most traditional Christmas Carol, “Carol of the bells”, is a Ukrainian carol Shchedryk written by Mykola Leontovich.
The decorations at this estate are beautiful. I have been here many times, all year long, and it is always lovely... if you have an opportunity, please visit this area. Sue
Female Staff memeber: My TEAM have been getting ready for Christmas since last year. We discuss where everyone on the TEAM needs to be. Don Hollaway:The banquet hall is MY responsibility this year. 70 feet, 7 storeys, pretty amazing that I get to decorate it. Female staff member: The WHOLE COMPANY gets involved...lists all the teams Don: Yup but I get to really big room, Im the winner, me. Tells us that his room the the most important...so amazing, big room, huge Female staff: We think about our visitors, our staff are amazing Don: Sometimes things don't work out my way...then i get sad and mad... Female staff: We're focused on maintaining the historical authenticity, we are all involved, even small unrelated jobs Don: Yup...I got the big room, just remember that everyone..me...alone... Female staff member: Lots of little mice, guests are the focus, creating a sense of magic Don: Can someone get me a trophy over here?
Who owned the Biltmore was it the Vanderbilts? Or am I getting it twisted? Vanderbilts that’s Anderson Cooper’s family! His mom was Gloria Vanderbilt! So does Anderson stop by to see everything and who now owns his family home?
It was a Vanderbilt by the name of George Vanderbilt, his family got famous in railroads and shipping. They are related to Anderson Cooper and Gloria. Currently it's owned by a family by the name of Cecil.
Michael Pait. The length of the video is shown along the bottom if you just tap anywhere on the screen. In addition, there's a timeline in the description explaining what's going on during the video.
if you could include the story of someone coming back home to help with this and meeting someone involved who is a single parent, and then one them learns to love Christmas again... would make a great Biltmore Christmas movie ;)....
