Imagine a summer fling at The Fairbourne Estate on the water in Riverside. A wonderful afternoon of croquet and lawn games, along with refreshments, followed by a lovely cocktail party set around the infinity pool overlooking Cos Cob Harbor. A gorgeous al fresco dinner for eighteen to take place on the main dining terrace.
