Brandywine Valley

Tour Description

The Brandywine Valley offers one of America’s richest combinations of gardens, historic estates, decorative arts, museums, and beautiful countryside.

Our private journeys explore the remarkable legacy of the du Pont family alongside the artistic traditions that flourished in the region, from the work of Andrew Wyeth and the Brandywine School to the Pennsylvania Impressionists. Along the way, we’ll examine how institutions such as Winterthur, Longwood Gardens, and the Brandywine Museum of Art helped shape the cultural identity of the Mid-Atlantic.

The influence of the Brandywine Valley extends far beyond southeastern Pennsylvania. At Winterthur, renowned collector Henry Francis du Pont advised First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy during the restoration of the White House in the early 1960s, helping establish new standards for the preservation and interpretation of America’s historic interiors.

Whether your interests include gardens, American art, decorative arts, architecture, historic estates, or landscape design, each itinerary is thoughtfully tailored to your interests and paced to encourage observation, discussion, and discovery. Coming 2026.
