Don’t Miss: Rough Point Soiree in Newport
Saturday, August 28, 2010
Talk about getting behind the hedgerow.
Enjoy a rare chance to spend an evening on the terrace at Rough Point, Doris Duke's legendary Newport estate, next Tuesday, August 31.
Garden Soirée at Rough Point, a fundraiser for the Newport Restoration Foundation, channels the founding spirit of the organization with those things she most loved. Take a short guided stroll through Doris Duke’s kitchen garden, led by Rough Point gardeners, and continue to the terrace for drinks and passed hors d’oeuvres created by Tallulah on Thames, each inspired by Doris Duke’s recipe collection and the vegetables in Rough Point’s kitchen garden. Listen to classic jazz recordings (Doris's favorite!) while you admire the sunset from the oceanfront solarium.
