Party Like A Vanderbilt - Sail Away - Season 3
April 14 and 15, 2018
Biltmore Estate
Asheville, North Carolina
Party Like A Vanderbilt in April 2015 and 2016 were glorious events! They were a memorable experience where costumers could indulge their passion in the beautiful and historic surroundings of Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. They turned out to be perfect with the Downton Abbey Costume Exhibit, the Fashionable Romance Costume Exhibit and the Biltmore in Bloom events coinciding with our costume weekend. We missed hosting an event in 2017 and when Biltmore Estate announced another costume exhibit from the Titanic movie and April 14 was available for another Champagne Cellar dinner....well....it seemed that the Universe was guiding us to one final get-together. And here it is! Party Like A Vanderbilt - Sail Away - Season 3 The Finale!
Your Invitation
You are cordially invited to join those who share your love and enjoyment of wearing historic costume in both an elegant and fantasy setting for a spectacular weekend of fun!

During past weekends many attendees enjoyed the Sunday Brunch at Deerpark and we have made a reservation for our group at 10:00AM for those wishing to attend. There are many specialty tours offered by Biltmore and as we were rained out of the Rooftop Tour in 2016 there may be some attendees looking to try again! Past activities by attendees included bicycling, equestrian, falconry, and sporting clay shooting. Any interest in these can be done on an individual basis or we can arrange a group event.
