It’s only fitting for my December hidden gem that I share something very festive! While The Graylyn Estate might not seem like a hidden gem as so many know about it, all they offer during the holidays is truly a hidden gem that many don’t know about!
From hosting holiday parties to enjoying a festive meal in a stunning decked out dining room, there is so much holiday cheer at Graylyn. You won’t want to miss visiting this stunning estate during the holiday season!
The staff does a wonderful job of capturing not only the spirit of the season but the love the Gray family had of this time of year, as well. There are many ways to incorporate a holiday experience at The Graylyn Estate!
Dine Among Festive Decor
Did you know The Graylyn Estate dining room is open to the public for lunch and dinner? You can make a reservation on OpenTable or by calling their reservations team at 336.758.2425.
While enjoying an amazing meal, you will also get to experience the magic of the season with all its festive ambiance. The Gray family loved the holidays, so every year, the estate is beautifully decorated with themed Christmas trees and gorgeous poinsettias. Be sure to check out the Library Tree, inspired by the Gray family’s world travel adventures, on your visit. The tree is adorned with ornaments that highlight destinations from around the world.
Please note dining reservations are subject to availability, and larger parties may require advance reservations.
