During your Biltmore visit, don't miss the winery! Access to the winery is included in your admission ticket, and you drive by it on your way out of the estate. Reservations are now required on the day of wine tastings, so make reservations early on the day of your visit to ensure you get a time that works best for you. Since it's open late (until 8 PM spring-fall and 9 PM for the holiday season), this is a perfect way to end the day. They usually open at 11 AM. Reservations are required for all wine tastings and must be made on the day of your visit. For reservations call 1-800-211-9803.

The completely renovated Tasting Room (photo at top) provides a personal tasting with expert guidance. Choose from a variety of wines to sample, from sweet whites like Chenin Blanc to dry reds like Cabernet Sauvignon.

Biltmore Wine Tasting Tips

  • Feel free to ask your host questions about the wines and wine tasting.
  • Wine tasting is a social activity, so feel free to talk about what you see, smell, and taste.
  • Notice the clarity of good wines as you hold them to the light.
  • Place your nose at the rim of the glass and inhale deeply to catch the wine's "bouquet."
  • Hold the wine on your tongue a few seconds; then whistle in to take advantage of additional flavors released by exposure to the air.
  • Notice the more full-bodied taste of red wines and the aftertaste that lingers in your mouth, a sure sign of a good wine.
  • Most of all, have fun!
