Stop One: Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah.

We’ll start with a guided tour of its many Italianate gardens such as the early 1900s Sunken Garden and the more contemporary Sense Circle Garden designed by Catherine Ziegler. The garden tour includes experiencing a special large-scale, sound art installation: In the Garden of Sonic Delights. A special treat follows: Flamenco in the Courtyard with dancer Isabel del Di'a, guitarist/composer Rafael Brunn and a singer. The outdoor Courtyard is surrounded by gardens and cloisters within the interior of the 25,000 square-foot Rosen House.

Next we’ll have a guided tour of the Rosen House, the former home of Lucie Dodge and Walter Rosen. The Mediterranean style home is now a museum of untold treasures including several centuries of Asian and Renaissance art, doors designed for a 1700s Venetian Palace, 18th-century rooms from private European villas and chateaux, a 17th-century French library, 16th-century painted Spanish ceiling, a gilded bed that belonged to Pope Urban VIII, Gothic tapestries and thousands of objects of art. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Then we’ll savor a luncheon buffet with a taste of Spain and the Mediterranean.
