Dragon Event -Biltmore Estates Tour (27 June)

PAO · 05-27-2008, 07:05 AM

simply testing the waters here for those that might be interested in spending the day at Biltmore Estates in Asheville, NC on Fri 27 June during the TOD event. Here are the details from group sales:

""We ask that you have 20 adults to book a block of tickets for your group. Now through October 31st, 2008 tickets would be $36.00 per individual. Your ticket includes a self-guided tour of the House, gardens, conservatory and winery with a free wine tasting.""

The estate is approximately 90 miles from Fontana Village. A 7:30 AM departure from the from Fontana should get us there around 9ish.....the estate opens at 8:30AM...return would be at your own time....normal admission prices are $45 a person...

If you are interested let me know and sign up here....once we get the 18 more required....already including myself and UNEED2, I will see if we need to book the block as a group or if we can do it individually:

since there hasnt been a response.....I can simply get discount vouchers from Biltmore sales office for the group...the price is slightly higher....$38 vs $36...but still a couple of $$ off regular admission.....

I should be able to get the vouchers and have them available in limited numbers at registration

Great Tour would highly recommend, but my Nav lives in Asheville and we have been and will go again. Thanks for doing this PAO.

We are very interested in joining you for this, but we may not go to the Dragon first. Let's use PMs for discussion on details.

the estate opens at 8:30 AM....and you will be on your own with return at your leisure....remember the group picture at the Damn at 5:30PM......so plan accordingly
