Last Friday I dropped Big Daddy off at his office and decided to do something I had wanted to do for YEARS.
I had breakfast on the Biltmore Estate.
If you are ever in Western North Carolina please try to make time to visit this picturesque estate. It is simply amazing. You truly feel as though you have been transported back in time!
Especially at Christmas!
The entire estate is decked out for the Season!
And the floral displays are gorgeous!
Summer ain’t bad either.
The gardens alone are worth the trip
I personally went just for
The Yellow Brick Road
As far as the eye can see
Absolutely amazing
As I wandered (carefully) in and out of the rows of sunflowers, I noticed a woman just ahead on the path.
What a treat!
And here is my breakfast spot.
I had the place completely to myself.
It was cool that morning with a little breeze. I had stopped at the bagel shop in the village and got my favorite bagel, Cinnamon Crunch and a large hazelnut coffee.
Just me and what sounded like a very large Bullfrog.
Just lovely!
Paige

What a wonderful way and place to have breakfast! The Biltmore is one of my very favorite places. Thank you for sharing such a lovely view of your morning visit.
OMG…. one of my very favorite places to go!!! We absolutely love everything about Biltmore Estates!! Sooooooo much history and the gardens are incredible!!
Charlotte resident here and yes, The Biltmore is a beautiful place to spend the day. At Christmas it is absolutely breathtaking with their assortment of Christmas trees. From Imparting Grace party
Fabulous! I have only seen it on tv, I bet it was just as grand in person!
I really enjoyed the pictures you took of your trip to the Biltmore! Could you imagine living at such a place? Hope you enjoyed your breakfast!
I visited the Biltmore about 4 autumns ago and I loved it–your photos brought back some great memories! I would love to go at Christmas sometime. Thanks for sharing about your visit!
Oh WOW! I watched their Christmas special documentary, but I'm sure it is so much more amazing in real life!
Very great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your weblog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing on your feed and I am hoping you write again very soon!
What a great post! I was in Asheville exactly one year ago and this was a great trip down memory lane for me. Some of my favorite moments revolved around the wonderful food there. I ate in the Stable Cafe at the Biltmore and had the most amazing tomato sandwich. I can't wait to go back. Thank you for sharing!
I had been following everything Biltmore Estate for decades. PBS documentaries Issues of Southern Living and Victoria magazine. I saved them hoping one day I'd get there. Way before the phrase "bucket list" was created. I love history, great buildings and gardens. So when we flew into Atlanta 2 year's ago before we went to Savannah we drove to Ashville. Ok not really on the way but we had time. But it was Dec 27 and the estate would still be decorated for Christmas. We bought tickets before and was assured it wasn't going to snow. It started 1 hour before we got there. We have so many pictures of an estate decorated and snow falling on the beautiful grounds. If you can ever get there and only once I'd suggest during the holidays. I will never forget it.
Thanks for listening.
i am glad that you went and shared…it's amazing there! 🙂
What a great trip. I love your breakfast spot! Thank you for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
Oh Lord I love this place, back in the 2004 I did my cooking internship at the diffrerents venues they have, like the bakery, The Inn at Bitmore, The Stables, the buffet restaurant, and the home garden. I had the best experince of my life, is a beautiful place, with great people and great food. And the house is amazing. Thanks for the memories.
Hi Paige! Great post and so fitting as my parents just got back from Biltmore! My husband's cousin was married there last year but we couldn't make the wedding. I hope one day to visit as I have heard how gorgeous it is. Featuring tonight on the Link Party and thanks for sharing and for the great pics!
Ooooh, breakfast at one of my favorite places to visit! I love visiting the Biltmore Estate and have been there in the summer, spring and at Christmas. It's hard to choose a favorite season, because they are all special. Thanks for sharing this at Totally Terrific Tuesday Link Party!
This looks like the perfect place to have breakfast! Those gardens look absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for sharing at Talented Tuesdays!
