Established in 1895, Biltmore is as impressive today as it was more than a century ago. George Vanderbilt’s 8,000-acre estate features acres of formal and informal gardens designed by America’s foremost landscape architect, Fredrick Law Olmsted. From beautifully manicured gardens to the majesty of the nation’s first managed forest and its vast network of trails, Biltmore’s breathtaking landscapes and gardens serve as a living tribute to Olmsted’s genius.
