Biltmore Village offers a delightful mix of local boutiques, artisan galleries, and select national retailers. You’ll find everything from handcrafted jewelry, artwork, and decorative craft items to eclectic home accessories and furniture. Even in the midst of your shopping, you'll find tempting culinary options. The district is home to beloved restaurants such as Corner Kitchen, a farm-to-table favorite, along with several craft breweries and distilleries—including Catawba Brewing, French Broad Brewery, Hillman Beer, and Eda Rhyne Distillery Biltmore Village lights up with community events throughout the year. In August, the Art & Craft Fair brings together more than 110 artists at the Cathedral grounds. Come December, the Dickens Christmas Celebration transports the village into a Victorian-themed wonderland with candlelit stores, live music, and tree lighting Hurricane Helene in 2024 caused significant damage to the area, but the Village is actively rebuilding. Many businesses are reopening, including the Grand Bohemian Lodge (which reopened in May 2025), and local efforts are rallying to restore the charm and vitality of this historic district historicbiltmorevillage.com Visiting now is a meaningful way to support its revival.
