Itinerary

Day 1:

Depart your group's location in a spacious, video and restroom equipped motorcoach as you head for your destination: beautiful Asheville, North Carolina, nestled among the Blue Ridge Mountains! Upon arrival you visit the THOMAS WOLFE MEMORIAL STATE HISTORIC SITE. This is the setting of Thomas Wolfe's epic autobiographical novel "Look Homeward, Angel". Later that day, enjoy a relaxing Dinner and check into your Asheville area hotel for a two night stay.

Day 2:

Begin the day by enjoying a Continental Breakfast, before departing for a visit to the spectacular BILTMORE ESTATE, America's largest privately owned home. Your visit will include experiencing the Biltmore House and Gardens. You will also visit the Antler Village and Winery. This is Biltmore's village that connects the estate's present and past, providing a relaxing place for dining, shopping, historical exhibits, and new ways to experience Biltmore's hospitality. This is a “must see” destination in America. Later, you'll enjoy Dinner with entertainment before returning to your hotel for the night.

Day 3:

Enjoy a Continental Breakfast before departing for a GUIDED TOUR OF ASHEVILLE. Downtown Asheville features more Art Deco architecture than any other southern city outside of Miami Beach. You will also see the magnificent ST. LAWRENCE BASILICA. Later you depart for home… A perfect time to chat with your friends about all the fun things you've done, the spectacular sights you've seen and where your next group trip will take you!
