Abstract:

On May 15, 1985, the Biltmore Estate Winery will open, marking the start of a new industry for Biltmore House & Gardens. It is the brainchild of William A. V. Cecil, grandson of George Vanderbilt who built the Estate. Production will start with 25,000 cases a year, and officials predict that by 1994, the winery will be producing 100,000 cases a year.
