Arts Travel: See California the Wright Way

Tour Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House as part of the “Wright Way California” trip.

How’s this for a perfect weekend: sunshine, great food, organic wine, famous architecture and plenty of craft. If that sounds good, check out the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust’s “Wright Way California: Beaches, Bungalows and Wright” tour Oct. 12-18.

Participants will enjoy private tours of Wright’s iconic Hollyhock and Freeman houses, explore four Greene and Greene masterpieces and visit architect Richard Meier’s Getty Center.

Since man does not live on art alone, the package also covers an organic wine tasting at the Casa Barranca Winery, accommodations, three breakfasts, four lunches and three dinners.

The trip continues with the Pasadena Heritage’s annual Craftsman Weekend, featuring 80 exhibitors of antique and contemporary Arts & Crafts furnishings and decorative art, and concludes with a tour of artist Sam Maloof’s residence and woodworking studio.

Reservations will be accepted through the end of September. Log on to www.gowright.org to learn more.
