“I use mine for the pet-friendly many miles of hiking trails! I enjoy the food, wine and the farm animals. Music on the lawn is a huge plus not to mention the friendly staff of Biltmore!” – Tonya S., Passholder

As a member of our Annual Passholder family, you can visit as often as you like, bring friends and family along, and enjoy exclusive perks that make every trip even more special.

Passholders (and their pups!) enjoy our late-summer swathe of sunflowers along the road to Antler Hill Village.

Perks of being a Passholder 🙌

“I love my Annual Pass – it’s my Christmas present to myself. I use it mostly to drive the loop around the property; sometimes I park and walk the gardens, most times I park and go to the shops and winery. I also use it when friends are in town so we can get discounts on entry fees and special attraction tickets.” – Stacy S., Passholder

Time well spent—on your own or with those you love—is priceless. An Annual Pass is a smart investment that pays for itself in as few as two visits, giving you access to Biltmore House & Gardens, Antler Hill Village & Winery, our 8,000-acre Blue Ridge Mountain backyard, and more.

Live nearby? Biltmore is perfect for a day trip or weekend escape, especially in different seasons. Flying in? With direct flights to Asheville from Colorado, Florida, Texas, and more, it’s easy to visit Biltmore multiple times a year. And, with more than 22 miles of private trails to explore, ever-changing gardens and grounds, and new memories to be made around every corner, you’ll WANT to return time and time again!

Biltmore’s mission of preservation ranges from large-scale projects to tiny details, like restoring the hand-painted flowers on a ceramic stove in the Chimney Room of Biltmore House.

Meaningful membership: your connection to history 📖

“I use it to help fund preservation and restoration of the House and grounds. I live too far away to visit often. But I enjoy knowing I *can* visit as often as I like. If I don’t make it there every year, my money is supporting a beautiful and important bit of architecture and history.” – Angela P., Passholder

Beyond the perks, Passholders play a role in preserving this historic estate for future generations. Being a Passholder supports Biltmore’s mission of preservation and helps protect our designation as a National Historic Landmark.
