• A selection of wines to taste throughout the event.
• Light refreshments.
• Two nights accommodations in a room of your choice (subject to availability)

3. How long does the event last?

The “Paint and Pour” event is designed to last approximately two hours. If needed, you’ll have enough time for painting, sipping, and a brief intermission. We recommend arriving a few minutes early to settle in before the painting begins.

4. Can I come alone, or do I need to bring a partner?

You are welcome to come along and enjoy the experience of meeting new people, or you can bring friends, family, or a partner. It’s a fantastic opportunity to make new friends or enjoy quality time with loved ones.

5. Are non-alcoholic beverages available?

Yes, we offer a variety of non-alcoholic beverages for those who prefer not to drink alcohol or are under the legal drinking age. We aim to ensure that all our guests have a fantastic time, regardless of their drink choice.

6. What should I wear?

While we provide aprons to cover your clothing, we recommend wearing something you wouldn’t mind getting a little paint on. Accidents happen, and while paint generally washes out, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Landcraft Gardens of Mattituck

Landcraft Gardens of Mattituck

One of the lesser-known facts about the North Fork is that we have a certified bonafide botanical garden accessible to the public.  It is the Landcraft Gardens Foundation In Mattituck.  Located in the heart of Long Island wine country.  These gardens were the brainchild of two visionaries, Dennis Schrader and Bill Smith.  They purchased 17 acres of land in Mattituck and created a nonprofit organization, Landcraft Gardens of Mattituck.

Located in the heart of the North Fork’s wine region on Long Island’s East End, the Landcraft Gardens were established in 1992 by founders Dennis Schrader and Bill Smith.  They purchased 17 acres of land surrounding a circa 1840 farmhouse and donated the entire property to the Landcraft Garden Foundation, a nonprofit591(c)(3)corporation registered with the New York State.

Their vision was to create a garden with unusual and little-known plants while providing an environment for experimenting with exotic plant materials.  They wanted a uniquely American garden of exuberance and different styles of influence seamlessly blending to create a garden of diverse interests.  The garden would exemplify the synthesis of structure, color, distinctive plant material, and composition.

The property is located on a long strip of land.  It is nestled between the Long Island Sound, Mattituck Creek, and the Peconic Bay, which gives the site an unusually long growing season, perfect for the types of plants they want to cultivate.

The more extensive garden comprises several gardens, each with its distinctive border, some blending seamlessly with the natural landscape, some juxtaposing with unusual materials and plants. The garden has benches, low walls, and seats that encourage you to sit awhile while you become one with nature. There are winding walking paths that delight your eye.

 Ownership & Management of Landcraft Gardens of Mattituck

Dennis and Bill will retain a lifetime tenancy of the residence which will pass to the Foundation through their estate.

“Delightful conversations over delicious homecooked breakfast and fresh-brewed coffee, tips on off-the-beaten-path restaurants and sights, and a warm and historic “Captain’s” lodging made this too-short seaside vacation an unforgettable one.”

Business travelers and leisure travelers are sometimes as different as cats and dogs, a new study finds.
This article was published in the Washington Post and was written by Andrea Sachs, Published: September 9
In early August, Travel Leaders arranged a survey on such topical and irksome issues as airport security and baggage fees. The study, based on responses from the group’s 443 travel agents, managers and owners, found that almost 28 percent of business travelers would like to eliminate the TSA’s liquid limit at airports and 28 percent would toss out the shoe removal rule. By contrast, 32 percent of vacationers would jettison pat-downs, followed by the liquid restrictions.
But the groups agreed on ways to avoid checked baggage fees: Travel carry-on only, said 51 percent of business travelers and 61 percent of holiday-goers.
The Fall Travel Trends Survey also ranked the top three domestic destinations for the remainder of 2011: Vegas, Orlando and Hono­lulu. For international spots, the list is Caribbean cruise, Cancun and London. CoGo assumes that these are vacation spots, but kudos to the company that holds stockholder meetings on a cruise ship.
