Guided Textile and Garden Tour of Filoli

Join us for a special day out in a beautiful setting. On Thursday, May 26, 11am-1pm, the Textile Arts Council will have a guided textile and garden tour of Filoli, a historic house and gardens. Also known as the Bourn-Roth Estate, it features a 54,000 square foot Georgia revival style mansion, set in 16 acres of formal gardens surrounded by a 654-acre estate in Woodside.

Julie Bly DeVere, Director of Museum Collections, will provide a private tour of the House's textiles and possibly some behind-the-scenes areas. Our house tour, especially curated for TAC, will focus on Filoli’s rarely seen textiles collection and the interior, decorated with European and Asian antiques including rugs and tapestries. A garden tour is also included, along with a Visitor Guide and a Filoli bag.

Originally built as a private residence in 1917, Filoli was opened to the public in 1977 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

For those who want refreshments or lunch at Filoli, the Quail's Nest Cafe is open 10-4 and offers indoor and outdoor seating.

TAC members may invite up to one paying guest.
