Join us for Field & Flame, an extraordinary evening where the art of open-fire cooking meets the timeless beauty of Longwood at Granogue.
Set atop one of the Brandywine Valley’s most exquisite landscapes, this one-of-a-kind experience invites you to be among a select group of guests dining beneath the stars at Granogue, surrounded by sweeping views and enveloped in the warm glow of firelight.
Here, fire is more than ambiance—it’s the heart of the occasion. Before your eyes, Longwood Gardens Culinary Director and Executive Chef Will Brown and his team transform locally sourced ingredients over open flame into a memorable multi-course meal that celebrates the land and the season, presented with rustic elegance.
Your open-air Field & Flame experience includes valet parking, a premium open bar, live music, and a family style dinner with open seating, creating an evening for shared conversation and exceptional cuisine.
Make your evening all the more memorable with an optional premium experience beginning inside Granogue, the magnificent Colonial Revival estate built in 1923. Enjoy a private reception with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres as you explore the stunning architecture and old-world grandeur before joining your fellow guests for dinner outdoors.
