A Getaway for Two to Asheville, North Carolina for Three Days & Two Nights at Renaissance Asheville Hotel, Including Admission to the Biltmore House and Gardens, Red Wine and Chocolate Tasting, and a $150 Biltmore Gift Certificate for Dinner at The Dining Room Restaurant (Land Only)

Nestled among the Blue Ridge & Great Smoky Mountains lies one of the most beautiful places on Earth, Asheville, North Carolina. From the fresh mountain air to the blossoms in the spring, Asheville is a must-see destination, boasting a thriving art community, a vibrant downtown, and architecture - it's where adventure and natural beauty blend to create the ultimate getaway! Save some time for a sensory adventure, from dinner to dessert — and wine, of course!

The Marriott Renaissance Asheville hotel lies in the heart of the city and proves itself to be one of the best hotels in downtown Asheville. The hotel, a member of the Green Hotels Association, offers beautifully appointed rooms. When you're ready to explore magnificent Asheville, scores of unsurpassed restaurants, bistros, unique shopping galleries, unmatched theatres and museums are right outside the Renaissance's doors. When the sun goes down, clubs light up the city with more entertainment!

Completed in 1895, George Vanderbilt's 250-room French château is a real life wonder. Enjoy a self-guided visit of Biltmore House that unveils a fresh look at how people lived and worked in America's largest home. You can also explore the acres of gorgeous gardens and grounds, designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, during your visit.

Prepare your palate for a delicious epicurean combination! You'll get to enjoy a red wine and chocolate truffle tasting! A friendly host will guide you through your tasting, and you will learn about the red wine making process and why chocolate and red wine are considered a natural pairing. Decadent! Indulge in elegant dining at a restaurant that specializes in regional cuisine at The Dining Room, at the Inn on Biltmore Estate. Enjoy estate—raised beef and lamb, mountain trout, or butter poached Maine lobster tail, just a few of the succulent options, prepared with fresh-picked ingredients from the kitchen gardens. Pair your meal with one of the Biltmore's wines. You'll see first hand the little luxuries and attention to detail that have characterized Vanderbilt entertaining throughout the years.
