Gather a group of friends and don your finery to celebrate and savour the traditional ritual of high tea at Auckland’s Alberton.

Enjoy dainty sandwiches, scones, savouries and cakes with a showcase of luxury teas from Harney & Sons, served from vintage bone china and antique silverware on tables adorned with antique linens and floral displays.  Soak up the beauty of the grand ballroom or the tranquil garden from the verandah.

The tea services run from Friday 26 February to Sunday 28 February with two sittings at 11am and 2pm. Come along for morning or afternoon tea or consider it a light luncheon. Tickets include a goodie bag and entry to explore the house (usually $10).

$45 per person.
