Spouse/Guest Luncheon and Tour: Winter Park, Florida
Monday, June 23
10:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Downtown Winter Park’s charm is
magnified in its details: hidden gardens
and side streets that are home
to unique stores, outstanding restaurants
and festive parades that
mark the seasons. Running through
the heart of Winter Park is Park Avenue.
Bordered by a shady park that plays host to concerts and art
festivals, Park Avenue is home to one-of-a-kind boutiques and
well-known shops, sidewalk cafés, as well as world-renowned art
collections in the area’s museums. Often called “Little Europe,”
Park Avenue is a year-round destination that is sure to charm visitors
of all ages.
Park Plaza Gardens has set the standard for dining in
Central Florida for more than 30 years. With an ever-changing
menu of fresh ideas and inspiring presentations, Park
Plaza Gardens continues to delight long time patrons and
newcomers a like. Dine amid lighted ficus trees and rustic brick
interspersed with chic textures and contemporary furnishings.
Award winning cuisine and exceptional service only begins to
describe what Park Plaza Gardens has to offer.
After lunch at Park Plaza Gardens, half of the group will take a
customized Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour with an agricultural
twist to it. The tour will cruise through three of the city’s lakes
which border the area’s most prestigious homes.
The relaxing, narrated, one hour, 12 mile cruise through the
lakes and canals is really the only way to see the true beauty of
Winter Park, which includes: Rollins College, Kraft Azalea
Gardens, Isle of Sicily, tropical birds, plants, flowers and
magnificent mansions.
While half of the group enjoys the Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour, the
other half will shop on Park Avenue. Some unique shops include a
Chocolate Connoisseur, that has velvety truffles and other goodies
whipped up on the spot, along with an Island Collection, that has
unusual furniture and accessories for island style décor. Timothy’s
Gallery has more than 300 artists and craftsmen that are represented,
including 150 jewelry artisans that you don’t want to miss!
As an additional enhancement, guests can visit The Wine Room on
Park Avenue for a special and unique kind of wine tasting. The Wine
Room is the only establishment in Central Florida to offer the state-of-the-art Enomatic wine serving system which allows wine enthusiasts
to purchase and taste at the push of a button. Use your pre-paid
card to sample as many wines as you like from over 150 available.
Following this exciting day, deluxe Motorcoaches will be waiting to
transfer guests back to Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center.
