Experience a day of charm, history, and wit on this unforgettable journey through some of Los Angeles' most iconic locations. Your adventure begins at the historic L.A. Farmers Market, a culinary landmark that has delighted visitors since 1934. Here, you’ll have time to explore at your own pace, savoring a delicious lunch on your own from an array of international cuisines or indulging in gourmet treats. If you’re in the mood for shopping or more dining options, the nearby Grove offers a lively mix of fashion and dining.

 

After lunch, we’ll make our way to the stunning Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, a secluded treasure nestled on a hill with sweeping views of the city. Normally closed to the public, this magnificent Tudor-style estate opens its gates for a rare glimpse into its storied past. Docents from the Friends of Greystone will guide you through the mansion’s beautiful grounds, sharing the fascinating history behind its grand gardens, stately fountains, and striking exterior architecture. Since the theatrical production takes place inside the mansion, the guided tour will focus on the exterior grounds. However, you may have the opportunity to glimpse some of the rooms on the first floor, depending on access permitted that day, as the afternoon crescendos with a unique theatrical experience inside the mansion’s elegant living room.

 

You’ll be treated to Theatre 40's production of Jane Austen in 89 Minutes, a lively and comic whirlwind through all six of Jane Austen’s beloved novels. This clever production, written and directed by Syrie James, blends Regency-era charm with a contemporary twist, offering a delightful mix of Austen’s timeless wit and modern-day humor. As the story unfolds, Jane Austen herself makes appearances to rein in her mischievous characters, adding to the hilarity.

 

Whether you’re an Austen enthusiast, a history buff, or simply seeking a unique cultural experience, this tour promises a day filled with charm, laughter, and discovery.
