This is a lovely French bistro with true “Berkshire buzz”. The CCC schooling Claire in the finer things… (Photo by Bev)Īfter lunch it was time to head back to the real world and dinner! We met up with Joanna, her husband, Drew, and my nephew, Jason at Bistro Zinc.
If you don’t have a lot of time lunch at The Library is a perfect way to enjoy the property and pretend you are a lady of the Gilded Age.Ī girl never forgets her first cheese plate. We enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at The Library. I was thrilled to create some new ones with Bev and Tom and my niece, Claire. I first discovered Wheatleigh over a decade ago with my good friend, Kiki.
Even commoners can enjoy Wheatleigh’s fabulous restaurant, spectacular hotel, and gorgeous grounds (in The CCC’s world that’s called winning). Today, a royal pedigree is not required to visit Wheatleigh. Georgie and her Spanish Count spent six weeks a year there, living in luxury, cared for by a staff of forty. The verdant exteriors of Wheatleigh were designed by none other than Frederick Law Olmsted. Inspired by a 16th century Florentine palazzo most of Wheatleigh’s materials and many of the craftsmen came from Italy. Cook built Wheatleigh in 1893 as a wedding present for his daughter, Georgie, who married a Spanish Count (in Girl World that’s called winning). Oh yes, and then there’s Wheatleigh… Welcome to Wheatleigh…where all your dreams come true. Only at Tanglewood can you get your honky-tonk on with Dolly Parton and then sit in awe as Yuja Wang plays Rapsody in Blue. It’s also a fabulous concert venue with an incredible season. Founded in 1940, Tanglewood is the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s summer time home and a place where talented young performers come to study with the best. The reason for our trip was to hear John Williams conduct his music at Tanglewood.
Rolling green hills, hydrangeas in bloom everywhere, stately homes, lots of ladies wearing linen. If you have not visited the Berkshires, it is well worth a trip. My sister, Joanna, and her wonderful family also joined in on the fun. Recently, I visited one of my favorite places, The Berkshires, with two of my favorite people, my parents, Bev and Tom.
