Take a rare peek inside Linwood Gardens and The Hillcrest Estate as they bring you their second annual Summer Solstice Soiree.
Our second annual Summer Solstice Soiree will have two ticket options this year!
Ticket Option 1: Tour of Linwood Gardens followed by Dinner, Drinks & Music at The Hillcrest Estate
Linwood Gardens is a private, historic estate with significant cultural, horticultural, and community history reaching back to 1901. Promptly at 5pm, visitors will be guided in groups from the Arts-and-Crafts-era summerhouse to the formal Italian Garden, tree peony nursery, serene Lily Pool Garden, and several other unique gardens areas, each which has many stories to tell. Experienced tour guides at each stop will reveal how every era of Linwood Gardens has built on the last to create a beautiful, layered landscape with enduring significance. The experience will last about 1 hour. After your tour, guests will travel “next door” to The Hillcrest Estate (1940 Craig Rd. Pavilion NY 14525) for live folk music, a cash bar, and plated 4-course meal by The Yard of Ale (see below).
Ticket Option 2: Dinner, Drinks & Music at The Hillcrest Estate
Arrive at The Hillcrest Estate at 6pm for live folk music, a cash bar, and plated 4-course meal by The Yard of Ale Restaurant. This option does not include a tour of Linwood Gardens.
