A formal tea concludes the afternoon in the Summer Dining Room and includes a scrumptious spread of tea sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and preserves, mouth-watering desserts (including holiday treats!) and a variety of teas. Hot chocolate is served for youngsters.

This year the Rosen House is happy to introduce Holiday Tea Musicales and Champagne, making the entire afternoon tea even more festive with the addition champagne and chocolates. In addition to all the wonderful formal tea offerings, you will be served a glass of lovely champagne and luscious, hand-crafted chocolates from Knipschildt Chocolatier of Norwark, CT, for a truly luxurious experience.

About Caramoor
Caramoor is the legacy of Walter and Lucie Rosen, who built their summer home - now known as the historic Rosen House at Caramoor - and filled it with their treasures. Walter Rosen was the master planner for the Caramoor estate, bringing to reality his dream of creating a place to entertain friends from around the world. Their musical evenings were the seeds of today's Caramoor International Music Festival and Fall and Spring Indoor seasons. Realizing the pleasure their friends took in the beauty of Caramoor - the house with artworks spanning the centuries from B.C.E. to the 20th-century, the gardens, and the musical programs on summer evenings - in 1946 the Rosens established a public charity to open Caramoor to the community.
