February 7, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
$30.00
One of the great privileges of NC is its depth of cultural inspirations…
In collaboration with Sophie’s Grill and Bar:
Celebrate the timeless charm of Old-World traditions with a delightful Valentine’s twist! Enjoy a flamboyant afternoon of British elegance as we explore the rich history of tea and the culture that blossomed around it. This special Valentine’s edition of afternoon tea is infused with love and romance, adding a festive flair to make your experience truly unforgettable!
Sophie’s Grill and Bar is a family endeavor helmed by first-generation immigrants to America. Owner and Chef Desislava, or “Desy,” hails from Bulgaria and opened her restaurant as a way to share the love and hospitality of her grandmother’s cooking. Her staff is comprised of Chef Cristina from Romania, Sommelier Dalibor from Serbia, and Pastry Chef Neli, also from Bulgaria.
Think of this class as a fabulous crash course in tea etiquette and history: attendees will indulge in proper British pastries and sandwiches while learning tea decorum and delving into the rich history of tea. Last but not least, guests are encouraged to don their most fantastic tea party attire.
In addition to local handcrafted tea, each ticket includes:
- Three sandwiches: salmon, chicken, and cucumber
- Three scones: blueberry, strawberry, and apricot
- Three sweets: strawberry British cake, red velvet cake, and champagne strawberry mousse
Cheers!
