Pinot with the President: Painting & Photography

Join us for a night of art and ambiance in the garden of the Hermitage. To kick off our summer series “Pinot with the President,” we will be highlighting the beauty of the natural environment and historic buildings on the grounds.

Guests will get to choose their focus!

You can sign up to paint a watercolor of the Hermitage Garden under the guidance of a professional watercolorist, which will include your own complete or almost-complete work of art to take home. Or, you can take a walking tour of the grounds and learn from a professional photographer about how to take amazing shots of the landscape and building interiors, in various light conditions, using just your smartphone or basic camera. The evening will include all painting materials (photographers bring your own phone or camera, fully charged), one drink ticket and light hors d'oeuvres. Additional drinks available for purchase.

Space is limited, so reserve your spot quickly! Please arrive by 5:30 to ensure enough time to get settled with food and a drink, as classes will start promptly in the Garden at 6:00 pm. 

Tickets are $40 Watercolor Painting,

$30 Photography Walking Tour,

$20 Hermitage Members (Photography option). Learn more about becoming a member here.
