MONET AT THE BILTMORE
May 9 - 10 | Single: $519.00 | Double: $429.00 | Trip #14933 MONDAY, MAY 9TH
Meet your fellow art enthusiasts and head north to Asheville, NC with a packed lunch included for the journey. The new Amherst Building, located on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate, is the setting for the much anticipated “Grandes Experiences” Legends of Art & Innovation featuring a homage to Claude Monet and the Impressionist painters of the mid-19th century through the early 20th century. This largescale, multi-sensory event uses the very latest in immersive technology to illuminate the remarkable life of Monet and his timeless masterpieces. This experience explores not only the paintings themselves, but the history of the Impressionist movement amid the social and political turbulence of the era. Breathtaking paintings are projected on an enormous scale, illuminating the brushstrokes of Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, and more. Each individual component of this must-see experience offers fascinating ties to George Vanderbilt’s collection of treasures on display in his magnificent family home, which we will visit tomorrow. After our Monet immersion, enjoy a wine tasting at the Biltmore Winery before checking into our hotel followed by an included dinner.
TUESDAY, MAY 10TH
After breakfast, we return to the estate to explore the house itself, which features a huge art collection including works from the master himself. Explore the extensive grounds, which will be in full bloom before lunch on your own in Biltmore’s Antler Hill Village. We will then reboard our coach for the journey home.
