Dedicate a fall day to exploring Lake Geneva and its beautiful surroundings. When you arrive, you will have one-hour of free time to acclimate yourself to the quaint downtown area. Stop in the visitor center, explore Riviera Beach and Library Park, take a peek in the many shops and coffee houses, or spend time exploring a segment of the famous Lake Geneva Shore Path. Next, you’ll board the Lake Geneva Cruise Lines for lunch and a full lake tour. Lunch will be served on the main deck in a climate-controlled environment. While enjoying lunch you will see the entire 20-mile shoreline of Lake Geneva and hear all the history that has made this area famous. Learn about how many wealthy Chicagoans made this area their summer retreat in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and see how many of those mansions and estates remain. The tour includes all the famous sights that gave the area the name “Newport of the West”. We will end our day in Lake Geneva with a tour of Black Point Estate. A docent from the estate will board our bus and introduce us to the estate as we make the short drive to the property. Upon arrival, enjoy a look inside this historic property built for Chicago Beer Baron Conrad Seipp in 1888 as a retreat, and in that spirit the home remains a place to relax, refresh and explore. This magnificent mansion is considered one of the finest examples of period architecture and furniture in the Midwest and is one of the oldest homes in Lake Geneva. Join us for a true Lake Geneva experience!
