On view in Biltmore House is Vanderbilt’s original collection of priceless antiques and art objects, including works by Pierre Auguste Renoir, John Singer Sargent and James MacNeil Whistler. The estate also features America’s most visited winery, where Biltmore Estate Wine Company produces approximately 120,000 cases of wine annually.
