You are invited to enjoy an enchanting Afternoon Tea in Wisner House overlooking the Arboretum’s beautiful grounds!

Upon arrival, you will be offered a menu of fine teas and infusions. Your choice of tea will be brewed to perfection. Once everyone is settled in, the tiers will arrive with freshly baked scones, jam, homemade clotted cream, scrumptious sandwiches, and a 3-tiered dessert tray.

In the last part of the service, you’ll be offered a complimentary glass of Prosecco, a Mimosa, or sparkling lemonade. We hope you will join us!
