Winter has arrived at The Grounds of Alexandria, and it’s more beautiful than ever. Snow is falling, the laneways are dusted in white, and glowing lights make everything feel extra special. Follow the path past frosted trees, sparkling crystals, and other stunning touches tucked around every corner. While you’re here, treat yourself to something warm and delicious from our winter menu – now available in The Cafe, The Garden, and The Potting Shed – created to bring the best flavours of the season to the table.
Fresh snowfall drifts through the air of our laneway intersection, Mondays – Fridays at 10am, 12pm, and 2pm – adding an extra touch of wonder to your visit (except during rain).
