Discover all the gardens have to offer during this unique, after-hours experience. Visitors may pre-order picnic boxes and bottles of wine from Free State Cellars prior to the event. A limited supply of picnic boxes will be available for purchase on site. Visitors may also purchase drinks by the glass and nonalcoholic selections from Gin Atomic Traveling Cocktails camper. This evening event takes place during golden hour at Shangri La Gardens, which provides an excellent opportunity to capture all Mother Nature has to offer.

“We held our first Sip and Stroll on May 11, and we are eager to have the public join us again for the two remaining dates in this summer series. Overall, this was a great evening for visitors to socialize and explore our Gardens. Visitors can enjoy the sounds of nature and music on these special dates,” said Angie Mason, executive director of Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center. “Thanks to Free State Cellars, visitors can also enjoy delectable treats as a part of these special evenings.”

Visitors are welcome to bring a blanket to sit on while they enjoy local artisanal wines, craft sangrias and delicious charcuterie. The last entry is at 7:30 p.m.

Shangri La is a 250 plus acre outdoor oasis located at 2111 West Park Ave. in Orange among the waterways of Adams Bayou that combines botanical gardens and an education nature center in a unique way.
