Sunday, September 7; 6:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.

Join us on the Library Terrace for a Blue Ridge Mountain sunset as you mingle with other passholders and enjoy light hors d’oeuvres and Biltmore wine.

Our winemakers, historians, and members of the family will be on hand to share details about the wines Mr. Vanderbilt liked and what he kept in Biltmore House’s wine cellar. Discover how the Vanderbilt legacy guided Mr. Cecil’s dream of planting a vineyard, developing Biltmore wines, and continues to influence our future plans.
