Tucked away in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville's electric art scene and historic architecture can certainly compare to those of metropolitan areas. The Biltmore Estate, originally George Vanderbilt's country home, was built in 1895 and seems to be even more enchanting today than it was over 100 years ago. Relax on the property's 8,000 acres of lush greenery, attend tastings at the winery, or enjoy seasonal farm-to-table dining.
