✨ BILTMORE IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT! ✨

If you’ve visited Biltmore before, you’ve seen the beauty of the house and gardens by day—but have you experienced Luminere™ after dark? 🌙✨

This incredible evening experience transforms Biltmore House and the historic gardens with light, music, projection mapping and immersive garden illusions. Seven different light-and-sound experiences invite you to wander, explore and see this Asheville icon in a completely different way. 🏰🌿 My videos do not capture the story being told on the front of the house. I wish I had a do-over.

You can make this a getaway! Spend the day exploring the estate, enjoy dinner or a glass of Biltmore wine, then watch as the property comes alive after sunset. 🍷✨

Luminere is offered on select evenings through October 18, 2026. Special admission is required, and overnight packages are available for those who want to turn the experience into a full Biltmore escape.

We are always looking for those experiences that feel a little more magical—and this one definitely belongs on the list! ❤️

📍 Asheville, North Carolina
✨ Luminere™ — now through October 18, 2026
