Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, N.C., the Biltmore Estate stands tall as America’s largest privately owned home. Spanning 175,000 square feet on the inside and 75 acres of gardens on the outside, the property was considered a modern marvel when it was completed in 1895.
Now, more than 130 years later, the Biltmore is once again at the forefront of innovation with a first-of-its-kind evening experience that will illuminate the estate’s historic house, grounds, botanical gardens and more.
On select evenings beginning Thursday, March 26, the Biltmore Estate will present Luminere, a curated sensory production of light, imagery and sounds. Created in partnership with Philadelphia-based design studio, Klip Collective, and set to an original musical score performed by the Asheville Symphony, the display will project milestone moments from the estate’s history and from the Vanderbilt family.
