We’re talking about Biltmore Estate–“the closest thing Americans have to a royal fairytale castle,” as the Travel Channel puts it.

How did this privately owned estate evolve from a bachelor’s country home to one of America’s most visited houses–and wineries? What near miss did George and Edith Vanderbilt have with the Titanic? What role did Biltmore play in supporting the community during the Great Depression, WW2, and the current Hurricane Helene recovery efforts? And how does the movie “A Biltmore Christmas” manage to pay homage to both the history of this national landmark and also some of our most beloved Christmas classics?
