Sample itinerary

Day 1: Monday

Arrive at the 125-acre farm by 4 p.m., check into your luxury glamping safari tent or Farmhouse Inn suite, explore a bit, and get settled. At sunset, join the group on the covered patio for an "Amuse-Bouche and Aperitif Fireside Soiree" to welcome you to the farm. Afterward, enjoy a farm-to-table style dinner in the stunning barn. After dinner, enjoy some gourmet s'mores by the bonfire.

Day 2: Tuesday

Spiced pancakes and apple cider mimosas? Yes, please! After breakfast, join the on-site forager for a walkabout in the woods. Learn about and explore the woodlands and forage for edible mushrooms that will be used in your dinner that evening. When you come back, enjoy lunch and wine on the deck overlooking the Gilbertsville Farmhouse hayfields.

In the evening, gather in the chandelier barn for a beautifully decorated candlelit dinner. Hear from a master winemaker about how the wine you are drinking went from the vine to the bottle. After dinner, head to the after-hours lounge for a digestif cocktail and dessert.

Day 3: Wednesday

Savor another farm-fresh breakfast in the Hayloft. It will be difficult, but it's time to say goodbyes, check out, and see you next time!
