    Date: SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 2013     

     

    Private BMW CCA Tour Of The Estate

    Please join the BMW CCA Board of Directors and National staff for an exclusive “after hours” tour of the Biltmore Estate and private dinner on Saturday, March 16, 2013, in Asheville, North Carolina.
     
    Even if you have been to the Biltmore Estate before, this will be a unique experience for BMW CCA members to enjoy. You will tour the mansion with the Board and staff of the National Office and savor a private dinner in the Stable House. Your ticket will allow you to tour the grounds earlier that day or to return on Sunday.
     
    Plan to arrive early to pose, along with your BMW, for a group photo in front of the main house. We will create a memorable photo, taken by the estate’s own photographer. This is an experience you won't soon forget!

     

    About the Biltmore Estate

    The Biltmore Estate is a stately 250-room mansion built in the French chateau style located in Asheville, North Carolina. It is the largest privately owned home in the United States, and provides a unique view of the Gilded Age as seen through the eyes of its owner George Vanderbilt. It was designed by the prominent New York architect Richard Morris Hunt and completed in 1895; its grounds were designed by the legendary Frederick Law Olmstead who also designed New York's famed Central Park.
