The highlight of the adventure is Christmas at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, where “The Driveway is Measured in Miles and The Floor Plan is Measured in Acres.” On our return trip we will drive on the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, you will have free time at the Southern Highland Craft Guild Folk Art Center as well as a stop at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum.
