After a year’s absence from the home tour scene, Manchester is back with a home and garden tour de force. We invite you to Discover Manchester as we transform the traditional home tour experience into a fun and funky afternoon of exploration and surprises.

Instead of the usual booklet, tour-goers will be handed a treasure map to guide them along the tour. The route will take visitors through a number of beautifully rehabbed homes including the Sipes Mansion, on tour for the first time since 2006. There’s a refreshing sorbet garden tasting courtesy of Ann Gilligan Sorbet, as well as a stop at the new La Prima Roasting facility on Chateau.

The tour starts at the 1300 block of Page St – Manchester
