Tuesday dawned fog mist over the mountains...but what did we care???? Back to Biltmore for silliness in the gardens...private tours...First an hour or more behind the scenes giving us the Friends and Family gossip and a look at several guest rooms not on the public tour.I think there were about 8 poeple in this group. Then lunch in the courtyard and shopping in the converted stables...then tour two...The Butler tour...another behind the scenes look at the staff quarters and the inner workings of the BIG house...all things not open to the general public...fantastic!!!!! We were with one other couple here. Then down to the winery areas for what ended up being a very private tour (yep, just Floyd and I) of the winery and tasting their wines (paired with gourmet chocolates)...it was awful!!! NOT...then more shopping, had to buy some of that wine!!!! (more rain...but again what did we care???)  Dinner at Cedric's at Antler Hill Village brought an end to our very long, extremely enjoyable day!!!!
