A New Fall Menu Blooms at 1906 at Longwood Gardens

As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, 1906 at Longwood Gardens is celebrating the flavors of fall with a stunning new seasonal menu that’s as colorful and comforting as the gardens themselves. This fall, diners can expect an elegant lineup of dishes that highlight the region’s freshest ingredients; many grown just steps away in Longwood’s Idea Garden or sourced from nearby farms.  

The menu features autumn-inspired creations like pumpkin tagliatelle, seared bluefin tuna, and a show-stopping cider-braised pork belly served with butternut squash and heirloom barley. Every dish reflects the culinary team’s dedication to seasonality, artistry, and the beauty of the Brandywine Valley harvest. 

For guests looking to elevate their dining experience, 1906’s private dining room offers an intimate setting for up to 18 guests, complete with a six-course prix fixe menu and a front-row view of the chefs in action. It’s an ideal choice for celebrations, gatherings, or anyone seeking a truly immersive culinary experience.  

And as the holidays approach, now is the perfect time to plan your visit during A Longwood Christmas (November 21, 2025 – January 11, 2026). 1906’s festive prix fixe dining returns for the season, pairing world-class cuisine with the dazzling sights and sounds of Longwood’s beloved holiday display.
