Asheville, North Carolina, is a city that knows how to celebrate the festive season, and this year is no exception. After the challenges brought on by Hurricane Helene in September, the iconic Biltmore Estate has joyfully reopened its doors for a dazzling Christmas season that promises to enchant visitors of all ages.
This year, the Biltmore Estate is proud to host the Chihuly at Biltmore exhibition, extending its run through February 2, 2024. Renowned glass sculptor Dale Chihuly is famous for his stunning, vibrant creations that seem to breathe life into the environment. This specific exhibition is particularly noteworthy as it’s the only traveling Chihuly exhibit in the country right now!
Those who experienced the outdoor Chihuly display on the estate grounds back in 2018 may remember the mind-boggling array of colors and shapes that seemed to pop against the lush backdrop of the estate. This time, art lovers can immerse themselves in the beauty of Chihuly’s work indoors, where rooms filled with mesmerizing sculptures create a feast for the senses.
But don’t forget, there are also breathtaking Chihuly pieces to explore outdoors. Don’t miss the striking “Winter White and Glacier Blue Tower” right outside the majestic Biltmore House or the stunning “Torchlight Chandelier” that warmly welcomes you to Antler Hill Village. Be sure to check out the beautiful chandelier inside the tasting room at the Biltmore Winery as well—it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the estate’s fine wines.
Alongside the Chihuly exhibition, visitors can immerse themselves in the charm of Christmas at Biltmore, which runs until January 5, 2024. This holiday celebration turns the estate into a magical winter wonderland, filled with festive decorations, delightful music, and even a chance to meet Santa himself!
As you stroll through the estate, take a moment to soak in the spectacular decor that graces each room. Elaborately decorated trees, warming lights, and seasonal displays make every corner feel extra special. The atmosphere is truly alive with holiday spirit, and the sounds of carolers will fill your heart with joy.
If you’re planning to visit the Biltmore Estate this holiday season, it’s a good idea to check the official website for reopening details and visitor information. Getting tickets for the Chihuly exhibit in advance is also recommended to make the most of your experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned visitor or a first-time guest, exploring the Biltmore Estate during this enchanting time of year is an experience that promises to create lasting memories. From the stunning art by Chihuly to the cheerful Christmas decorations, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
