It gave us great pleasure to recently receive an email letting us know Winthrop Estate had been featured in Ryan Brenizer’s website.  Ryan photographed Lisa Marie and Rudy’s 2011 wedding here in the Berkshires.  We remember the couple well and everyone had such a great time at their wedding.   When the link to Ryan’s website arrived in our inbox viewing all the pictures gave us a flush of warm memories. 

We become intricately involved with our clients as they go through nine or more months of wedding planning with us.  By the time the big day arrives, we are so excited.  We are always so proud to host weddings in our historic home.   

Many thanks to Ryan for including us in your wonderful website.  The pictures are gorgeous! 

Even though it’s the dead of winter and we aren’t outside playing on our lawn right now, we are thinking ahead to this summer.  Days are long, skies are clear and all we want to do is be outside.  That’s why we decided to add  a bocce set to our lawn game collection. 

Bocce is very popular in Europe and was brought to America by Italians.  Descended from a game played in the Roman Empire, bocce involves rolling balls on a clay, asphalt or smooth lawn.  Anywhere between two to eight players compete in teams.  The United States Bocce Federation has a great website with information, playing tips, and tournament schedules.  They are aiming to get bocce into the Olympic Games! 

Even if you are not as serious as those bocce enthusiasts, you will find our bocce set to be the very best available on the market. The Perfetta Club Pro Bocce Set I just ordered should last for years to come and be a focal point for many happy memories.  Our lawn is great, the views spectacular and we have no doubt that bocce is going to become a favorite pastime here at Winthrop Estate!  

The Winthrop Estate is proud to be neighbors with one of the nation’s premier yoga centers, Kripalu.  Hence, our little village of Lenox has a large population of very skilled yoga teachers.  To enhance our guests stay at our luxurious mansion we are now offering complimentary morning yoga classes.  If you let us know one week in advance that you would like to take a class (or two) during your stay with us, we will book a teacher to come in and give you a private lesson. 

Breathe, relax,  and  feel……how wonderful it is to be here!
