Our Most Popular Questions

  • Do I need to pay for parking?

    No, parking is included in admission.

  • Is Biltmore pet friendly? Can I bring my dog to the estate?

    You won’t have to leave anyone behind. The grounds are perfect for walking your pets, but please keep them securely leashed at all times. Animals (except service animals) are not allowed in any building.

    Animals are allowed on the outdoor patios of Bistro and Cedric’s® Tavern, but patio seating should be requested from the host or hostess inside first. All animals must be leashed on estate grounds for their own safety as well as the comfort of our other guests. Please be courteous of others and pick up after your animal.

    Pets are not permitted at any of the lodging accommodations on the estate. ADA-regulated service animals are allowed.

  • How long does it take to tour the estate?

    Plan on spending at least one full day at Biltmore. Two days are recommended because there is so much to see and do on our 8,000-acre estate: the house, gardens, Winery, working farm, and a variety of outdoor activities, shops, and exceptional dining options.
