Gardens 

The gardens, at Ironstone, play host to a multitude of public and private events year round. These include concerts, weddings, picnics, barbeques and games, and the spectacular Concours d'Elegance classic car show that's held every September. Throughout the 14 acres, you'll find thousands of plant varieties and species as well as antique winemaking, mining and railroad equipment.

The annual "color parade" kicks off in March with an explosive burst of over 300,000 daffodils that signal the coming of Spring and herald our annual festival of food, wine, art and Daffodils. Tulips, Camellias, Dutch Iris, Rhododendrons and Azaleas follow. As the summer months fade to the hustle and bustle of harvest, the grounds come alive with rich hues of crimson red, bright orange and ochre when leaves put on their annual show of Fall colors. Even during winter one can find splashes of color amidst the lush evergreens and occasional light dusting of snow.

Lakeside Park     

Lakeside Park is a graceful, flower-filled, manicured garden on the cattail-lined shores of our natural lake. A picturesque setting, complete with natural stone pathways and shaded outdoor tables and benches, is the perfect locale for a picnic lunch prepared by our Gourmet Deli. 

The park is one of the most versatile and utilized areas of the winery and hosts a myriad of public and private events throughout the year. From weddings, to garden parties, to evening dances under the stars.     

Arbor

Located near the Breezeway, the fragrant and lovely white and purple Japanese wisteria-covered arbor is 400 feet long. In its midst, surrounded by beautiful flowers and rocks, you’ll find an old-fashioned covered wood bridge with a stream running underneath. 

The arbor is a lovely place for a stroll, and on special occasions, chairs and tables are arranged throughout the arbor where guests can enjoy our award-winning wines and fabulous lunches from our Gourmet Deli.
