Disappear behind private gates into a sun-soaked 1964 hideaway—cocktails in hand, a shimmering pool, mountains blazing gold at dusk and interiors as bold and irreverent as Palm Springs itself.

Celebrate the glamour of Palm Springs with an unforgettable late-afternoon cocktail party in the heart of Little Tuscany. From 4:00-6:00 PM, guests are invited behind the gates of a spectacular private residence for cocktails, conversation, music and breathtaking mountain views.

Custom-designed in 1964 by Hollywood architects Ayres & Fiege, this nearly 6,000-square-foot, two-story split-level residence is set on a lushly landscaped half-acre surrounded by the dramatic mountains and architectural landmarks of Little Tuscany. Walls of glass, generous open living spaces and a dramatic double-door entry create a sophisticated setting designed for entertaining.

Inside, colorful and playful interiors by Arel Ramos and Eric Cody of Industry Palm Springs bring a contemporary Palm Springs spirit to the midcentury residence. Outside, the expansive backyard becomes the centerpiece of the evening, with a sparkling pool, lush landscaping, multiple gathering areas and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

Enjoy cocktails and light bites as the late-afternoon sun settles over the San Jacinto Mountains and experience the relaxed elegance, architecture and indoor-outdoor lifestyle that have made Palm Springs legendary.

Little Tuscany: Cocktails in the Hills is the perfect way to end an afternoon of Modernism Week—good friends, great design, cocktails and one extraordinary Palm Springs setting.
