Wilderstein, one of the finest examples of Queen Anne architecture in the Hudson Valley, is open for tours of its lavish 1889 ground floor designed by Joseph Burr Tiffany in the eclectic Aesthetic Style. The forty-acre estate, commanding one of the most sublime views of the Hudson River, was created by Calvert Vaux in the Romantic style featuring walking paths and carriage roads, compelling river views framed by selected plantings and intimate seatings in prime viewing areas. Close to the quaint village of Rhinebeck, New York, Wilderstein is easily accessible from the Culinary Institute, Roosevelt and Vanderbilt estates, Mills Mansion and Montgomery Place. Wilderstein is a private site capable of satisfying your touring and refreshment requirements with lunches, dinners, high teas or cocktail hour on the gracious verandah or in the charming 1889 Lodge. VIEW the mighty Hudson River and the dedicated restoration efforts of this striking site.
