In 1971, George Vanderbilt’s grandson William Cecil first experimented with winemaking at Biltmore at his new North Carolina vineyard. From a harvest of French-American hybrid grapes planted within sight of Biltmore House, the inaugural vintage was bottled in the estate Conservatory.
In the decades since, Biltmore has grown and tested numerous varietals. Six of them – Riesling, Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot – have proven to be particularly well-suited for our western North Carolina terroir and the microclimate of the estate. We continue to evaluate other varietals in a special test vineyard behind the winery. In an effort to expand our portfolio and consistently craft the highest quality wine possible, we also partner with select growers in North Carolina, Washington State, and throughout California, including Sonoma and Napa.
Today, we continue to honor the Vanderbilt heritage of agriculturally based sustainability as well as Mr. Cecil’s legacy. We are proud of his vision and hard work that have created diversification opportunities in harmony with Biltmore’s mission.
