Biltmore Estate
Ponder Cove is only 30 minutes north of Asheville and the Biltmore Estate. America’s largest house is worth the visit any time of the year. |

Biltmore Conservatory
The glass–roofed Conservatory, designed by Biltmore House architect Richard Morris Hunt, nurtures flowers and plants for Biltmore House and tender bedding plants for the gardens—just as it did in Vanderbilt’s day. Its central room is a Palm House where a large collection of palms, ferns, and other foliage plants thrive year round. Annexes include a cool house, hot house and orchid house. |

Biltmore Festival of Flowers
This is something we all look forward to each Spring,, watching the Biltmore come to life after winter’s end. Tulips galore adorn the gardens but you’ll also see peonies, wisteria and more. This is a yearly event between first week of April to mid May. |

Biltmore Antler Village
Spring 2010 marked the opening of the new Antler Village near the winery offering a pub, ice cream store (when is the last time you had a coke float?), and music venue. The best part…Antler Village is opened until midnight. So, hang outside and enjoy the view until sundown. Then step into the pub for a brew before returning to the peace and quiet we offer here at Ponder Cove. |

Biltmore Winery
The most visited winery in the United States isn’t located in Napa Valley. It’s at Biltmore in the mountains of North Carolina, where approximately 1 million visitors stop by to sample award-winning estate wines each year. The first vineyards at Biltmore were established in 1971 from French-American hybrids with vinifera plantings following in a few years. This is another must do when visiting the estate. |
