The following morning we explored the grounds on Outriders, electric, off-road tricycles that can reach about 20 mph. Not only was it so much fun, especially when we got to hit the “turbo mode” button, but it was a wonderful way to experience the trails and vast surroundings of Biltmore’s 8,000-acre estate. I imagined being a guest at the home back in the early 1900s. We’d probably be on horses instead of tricycles, but we’d be exploring the exact same grounds!

Once in the house you're immediately given an auto tour listening device. It looks sort of like a cross between a big remote and an old school cell phone. [...] The house was stunning. So many beautiful rooms and interesting artifacts. It was a good amount of walking and it does include going up and down several sets of stairs. [...] We loved learning about the lives of both the family and the staff living at the house.

We arrived in the late afternoon, dropped our bags at our room at The Inn on Biltmore Estate, and headed straight downstairs to catch a shuttle over to the “Behind-the-Scenes” wine tour. Arriving at The Inn was pretty special and grabbing a quick glance at the view of the estate from our room was the beginning of the fascination we felt the entire time we were there.
