Garden Hour: Wine Strolls, Reimagined

Unwind this fall with Garden Hour, a unique happy hour series set in America’s Oldest Landscaped Gardens along the Ashley River. Each week, explore a new garden location inspired by Alice, a tribute to artist Alice Ravenel Huger Smith by Dwight McInvaill, Caroline Palmer, and Anne Tinker.
This week’s Garden Hour highlights the Butterfly Lakes and historic Mill House, a view beautifully captured in View Overlooking the Butterfly Lakes and Mill at Middleton Place. Designed in the 18th century, the Butterfly Lakes’ symmetrical shape and reflective waters exemplify the artistry and precision of formal garden design, while the Mill House stands as a testament to the working history of the space.
Sip wine or beer, enjoy chef-prepared small bites, and hear from garden guides about the origins of the Butterfly Lakes, the role of the Mill House and the details that made this scene a favorite of Alice Ravenel Huger Smith. It’s an evening to enjoy the gardens as living works of art.
Your ticket includes:
After-hours access to the gardens.
Two drink tickets, each redeemable for a full-sized wine or local craft beer from our featured selection. Additional beverages may be purchased.
Light bites provided by Peculiar Pig Farm.
All proceeds directly support the mission of education, research and preservation at Middleton Place.
