MANITOGA – In Focus: Autumn Walk & Sunset Toast at Boulder Osio

Manitoga presents a new series of immersive and inspired experiences that highlight all four seasons at Dragon Rock and in the Landscape. Each individually themed walk is designed to relax, teach and cultivate a sense of place with an extended, in-depth tour of the House, Studio and Woodland Garden with experts in horticulture and meditation. 

Visitors follow the upper Quarry Path to experience Dragon Rock in the majestic afternoon light during the height of the Hudson Valley's peak foliage season. Enjoy a wine toast at Boulder Osio and take in the historic Hudson River view, sparkling in the distance before descending the Autumn Path to the House and Studio. A charcuterie spread and conversation with other design enthusiasts awaits on Dragon Rock's terraces, overlooking the Quarry Pool at Sunset.

THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES THE HOUSE, STUDIO, DESIGN GALLERY AND WITH EXTENDED FOCUS IN THE LANDSCAPE.

PLEASE NOTE: All experiences in this series include an extended moderate hike on Manitoga's choreographed foot trails, designed by Russel Wright to celebrate the seasons. Visitors must be able to negotiate uneven ground plus several sets of steps including ascending a 40-step stone stair with handrail.
