What to expect
Destrehan Plantation
Travel to the historic Destrehan Plantation on Louisiana's Old River Road for a guided tour. During your tour of Destrehan Plantation, professional guides will bring to life the stories of generations who lived on and worked this land. Your guides will share every detail of this mansion’s storied history with you. You’ll also hear tales of the lives of both its owners and slaves. They will also tell you about its wonderfully restored Greek Revival architecture.
Houmas House and Gardens
A short ride upriver through sugar cane fields brings you to Houmas House Plantation. Refreshing Mint Juleps are available for purchase on arrival. Enjoy a gourmet lunch (included) in the grand dining hall at Houmas House Plantation. Houmas House River Road Buffet Lunch Menu: * Chicken and Andouille Gumbo * Caesar Salad (GF) * Cornmeal Fried Catfish * Chili Glazed Roasted Chicken (GF) * Crawfish Étouffée * Red Beans, Sausage and Rice (GF) * Shrimp and Mushroom Pasta * Roasted Vegetables (GF) * White Chocolate Bread Pudding * Non-alcoholic Drinks and Coffee (included) After lunch, experience the southern splendor of this Sugar Palace. Your tour guide, in antebellum dress, will lead you into 16 rooms filled with period antiques and Louisiana artwork. Upon completion in 1840, Houmas House was the crown jewel of Louisiana's River Road. Its heroically columned Greek revival exterior is stunning. It was topped by a belvédère that surveyed the oak alley leading south to the sweeping bend in the river. From it, you could also see miles and miles of cane fields extending from the Mississippi River to the back swamps! Enjoy the breeze off of the Mississippi River and stroll the stunning grounds through the shadows of ancient oaks.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
