Picture Perfect Countryside is a full-day tour through the rolling hills of Philadelphia's spectacular countryside. Less than an hour's drive from Philadelphia lays the beautiful Brandywine Valley, immortalized on canvas by many artists, including the Wyeth family.

Our deluxe transportation first takes us to the world-renowned Longwood Gardens. America's premier horticultural center captivates with 1,050 acres of majestic gardens, natural woodlands and colorful meadows for an hour-long private tour plus a special 30-minute "behind the scenes" tour of the production greenhouses where you will learn about Longwood's state-of-the-art growing facilities and techniques.

After the tour we'll have an additional hour-plus for lunch and to wander at-your-own-pace plus visit the gift shop.  Tour includes Terrace Café lunch voucher with choice of appetizer, entree, dessert, and fountain beverage or coffee.

On the return trip we visit a local Pennsylvania winery for a wine tasting and opportunity to purchase some local favorites.  Includes souvenir wine glass for everyone!
