With modern twists on traditional recipes, our mixologists infuse a sense of fun and whimsy into old-fashioned punch service. During our weekday cocktail hour, enjoy the festive air of ladles clinking against heirloom punchbowls as you soak in the one-of-a-kind buzz in our landmark Mansion, settle down on our Loggia, or take a glass to the garden where you can play vintage lawn games from croquet to horseshoes as the sun goes down.

Cool off with a nighttime dip and a chilly cocktail during our summer movie series featuring the nostalgic and idiosyncratic films by Academy Award-nominated and former Austin resident Wes Anderson. We'll kick things off with Moonrise Kingdom, set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, that tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact and run away together into the wilderness.

Join us in Lutie's Garden Restaurant for a delicious cup of coffee and a pastry from Susana's kitchen before taking a brief tour of the Estate Gardens where you'll meet with our talented landscaping director, Megan Lappe, to explore her favorite local plants that flourish around the Estate. After gathering clippings of Native Texan plants found on the grounds, create your own botanical drawing as local artist Jonathan Maurel teaches the fundamentals of pencil sketching and inking using fundamental techniques like shading, cross hatching and inking during an hour long class.

Each week, take a seat in the Living Room with a cocktail in hand and a great soundtrack to accompany the scene. With the sounds of modern pedal steel, to fresh jazz floating in the air, you will have the perfect vibes to take you into the weekend. The month of June will feature the retro-country sounds of Austin-based duo Harry and Emmy.

Join certified personal trainer, Christoforos Jordan, every Saturday morning for a unique sculpting and toning HIIT class overlooking the gardens. Using the power of body weight and minimal external tools, start your day off with some sweat during this all-levels High Intensity Interval Training that combines short bursts of high intensity cardio and strength training with periods of rest to improve cardiovascular health and burn calories at an accelerated rate.

Give yourself an hour of curated self-care. The classes are creatively curated and intuitively choreographed, consistently challenging but approachable for all levels because of thoughtful cueing and modifications and variations. Wellness is a way of life at the Estate, but we won’t judge you one bit if you decide on a post-class mimosa. $20 per person

Enhance your holiday weekend with relaxing poolside mini-spa treatments by Milk + Honey Spa. Enjoy complimentary treatments by their trained therapists throughout the weekend, including skin-lifting mini-facials and soothing hand and feet massages.

Spend a relaxing afternoon listening to warm, crackly vinyl in our Listening Room. We’ll have specially curated reserve bottles ranging from cult Napa Valley Cabs to limited runs of small batch bourbon, so you can pair some soulful Charles Bradley with a smoky mezcal, our new favorite Texas Whisky with some vintage Willie Nelson, or an effervescent Pet Nat with the soothing sounds of Dorothy Ashby.

Join us for a soulful holiday weekend pop performance with Austin-based musician Mobley at the Estate’s historic Chapel in partnership with Austin public radio station 98.9 FM KUTX, home to the Austin Music Experience. Mobley is a dynamic one-man singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer, building distorted pop songs on a bed of looped polyrhythms. He has been part of the Austin scene for years, but his incessant touring has often kept his one-man show in other locales. Mobley makes soaring soulful pop music, and as he’s honed his craft, his profile has soared. He’s also written music for HBO, Fox, NBC, and toured with many big name acts.

After the sun sets we’ll enjoy cocktails and a vinyl DJ set by Clemente Castillo into the evening.
