    • There is a hill directly across the Biltmore Estate where you can lay a blanket and spend some quality time. If you are looking for a more secluded spot then somewhere along the Deer Park Trail will also be a good option. The Biltmore Estate, in itself, is a great place to enjoy a great time. You may visit the Craggy Gardens, catch a show at the Diana Wortham Theatre, or have a good wine tasting experience at the Biltmore Winery at Antler Hill Village.

As you see here, there are plenty of things to do in Asheville. You may choose to visit the ones you like the most and those that can be fit into a half day trip plan of Asheville.
