Abstract:
In 1982, architects were commissioned to repurpose a dairy barn of the Biltmore Estates into a contemporary winery. Biltmore officials required a space not only for production of wine but a facility to allow the nearly 5,000 visitors daily to sample the estate's wines. The 1897 building was almost completely abandoned by 1979 until the renovation was commissioned three years later in 1982.
