Best Fall Photo Spots at Biltmore
1. The Rooftop of Biltmore House: The Architect’s Tour provides you with a bird’s eye view after a climb up the Observatory’s spiral staircase and onto the balconies and rooftop.
2. Top of the Rampe Douce: This wide, graduated stairway across the wide front yard from Biltmore House allows for fitting the entire front of the house inside your viewfinder.
3. Statue of Diana: Our favorite photo spot is beyond the Rampe Douce and up the hill at the statue of Diana. Capture a majestic view of Biltmore House with sky and mountains in the background.
4. The South Terrace Tea House: The wide open terrace gives you long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. At its edge perches a limestone teahouse with panoramic views of the deerpark, Lagoon and Mount Pisgah.
5. The Loggia: Located on the back of Biltmore House, it is accessible on the ground floor right off of the Music Room. This open-air porch overlooks the deerpark with views of the carriage ride trail across the fields.
