Behind the gates of these Colonialtown North homes you will find inspiring spaces with privacy walls, stone and rock paver pathways, tropical lush landscaping, custom pools, and patios with space to stay a while and lounge while enjoying wine from Quantum Leap Winery, beer from Ten 10 Brewing Company and appetizers from Bites & Bubbles, Black Rooster Taqueria and Pop Thai.
Tickets are $30 in advance but you can save $5 per ticket by using the code Mills50 at www.orlandoweeklytickets.com
Tours begin at Colonialtown Neighborhood Center, 1517 Lake Highland Drive. Masks are required for all attendees and social distancing guidelines will be observed.
We hope you will join us, meet your fellow business owners and neighbors in the area while enjoying the cooler weather in a socially distant atmosphere.
