East Coast Getaways: Chateau Country - Brandywine Area (PA/DE)

The Brandywine Valley nestles where Pennsylvania and Delaware form a ball-and-socket joint, an ideal vacation destination conveniently located just thirty miles southwest of Philadelphia. Like France’s Loire Valley with its famous castles, the Brandywine Valley is also known as “Château Country” thanks to the du Pont family estates that grace its beautiful countryside.

Located in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic Region, Chateau Country is just over two hours by car from both New York and Washington, less for visitors from Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Rail and air travel also provide quick access to Chateau Country.

The four du Pont estates include: Longwood Gardens, Winterthur Museum, Hagley Museum and the Nemours Mansion and Gardens.

Beautiful homes, furnishings, antiques, gardens, fountains, seasonal programs and special events provide something for everyone throughout the year.
