Holiday High Tea

We're bringing back our Holiday High Tea on Tuesday, December 9th at 3:00 PM—the seated afternoon service with three-tiered presentations, sparkling wine, and 90 minutes of actual conversation time that several groups told us became their favorite December tradition last year.

Who This Is For:

This works particularly well if you're looking for a seasonal celebration where nobody has to host, cook, or coordinate. The kind of afternoon where you make one reservation, bring your friends, and everything else is handled.

It's also the rare December event that delivers both—the gorgeous setting guests describe as "reminded us of Europe and Italian vineyards and villas" paired with the peaceful atmosphere where, as one reviewer put it, "my soul relaxes every time."

The Core Experience:

This is a seated high tea service in our fireplace room, decorated for the season with twinkling lights and seasonal greenery. You'll be welcomed with a glass of our sparkling wine alongside your choice of premium teas.

The service features a three-tiered presentation: warm cranberry scones with clotted cream arrive first, followed by savory finger sandwiches with seasonal fillings, then petit fours dusted with edible gold and seasonal pastries. The pacing is leisurely—about 90 minutes total—with time built in for conversation between courses.

Tables are set with china service. The atmosphere is celebratory but relaxed—think festive lunch with friends rather than formal occasion.

You'll leave with a full afternoon of genuine conversation without anyone needing to coordinate or host. The kind of seasonal celebration that doesn't require planning beyond making the reservation—and the kind of setting guests consistently describe as "beautiful," "dreamy," and worth the photos.

Here's What Makes This Afternoon Special:

Our fireplace room transforms into what last year's guests called "reminiscent of Greece" and "like something from the movies"—twinkling lights woven through seasonal greenery, tables set with delicate china, and that three-tiered service arriving at your table looking almost too pretty to disturb.

But here's what guests mention just as often in their reviews: how relaxed they feel. It's rare to find a December gathering that delivers both—the gorgeous aesthetic (multiple guests mention "cute spots for pics") AND the peaceful atmosphere where you can actually enjoy the conversation.
