Taking Tea at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts
Westchester County in NY State is host to a range of cultural and culinary destinations. One such place is the Caramoor Center for Music and Arts. This former private estate hosts incredible musical performances ranging from chamber performances in the music room to outdoor concerts on the lawn and in the gardens. They also operate as a museum, displaying fine decorative objects within rooms of the main house and host special educational programs for children and adults. But possibly best of all (for those reading this blog), they host afternoon teas on Thursdays and Fridays through the month of October.
The setting is lovely and offers a tea experience reminiscent of the days when the extraordinarily wealthy spent their summers on the Hudson. Each ticket costs $30 ($22 for children 16 and under) and includes a tour of the Rosen House and sitting for a formal tea in the Summer Dining Room.
With a view overlooking the romantic Spanish Courtyard, the experience is transporting. The afternoon tea includes English scones with cloted cream, tea sandwiches and a selection of desserts. There are two seatings on Thursdays and Fridays, one at 1:30 and another at 4:00. To make reservations or for additional information, including notice of special tea events, visit the Caramoor website or call the Rosen House 914-232-5035 x221.
