Upon arrival, guests are served Peach Tea
and muffins and get a wagon tour of the
Longhorns and gardens. They then arrive
at the Cooking School where our chefs are
preparing the fare of the day. We encourage
our guests to participate! Each one receives
a cooking school bag with recipe book and
miscellaneous gifts from the Ranch. After
the cooking school, the guests stroll over
to the Lazy Lily River House for a Texas
wine tasting and lunch. Followed by an herb
lecture and demonstration and of course, lots
of shopping is available at our Lily Boutique for
jewelry, quilts, cookbooks and other niceties.
