Afternoon Teas are being offered at Caramoor, including select Sunday Teas during the Festival, and our popular Holiday Tea Musicales.

Located in the outskirts of Katonah, the historic Rosen House is the jewel of Caramoor. You will be transported in time and spend a delightful afternoon starting with a tour of Walter and Lucie Rosen's country home with period rooms filled with fine and decorative art spanning BCE to the 20th Century. Then enjoy a 45 minute recital of songs about mothers in Caramoor's magnificent Music Room before you enjoy a formal tea in the Summer Dining Room which overlooks the romantic Spanish courtyard. The Tea includes a variety of teas (and brewed iced tea!) tea sandwiches, delicious desserts, and scones with clotted cream and preserves.

Adult $50 / Child (suitable for ages 4–12) $25

Afternoon Tea was one of the English traditions Lucie Rosen, founder of Caramoor, enjoyed during her time living in England in the early 1910s. She kept up the practice of inviting friends and guests to tea for many years, using the time for conversation and for planning concerts and other social events.

Tea is served in the Music Room, a unique opportunity for you to relax with friends and family in a breathtaking historic setting, featuring a large portrait of Lucie herself. The service includes a variety of tea sandwiches, scones with créme fraiche and preserves, delicious desserts, and a selection of fragrant teas.

Self-Guided Rosen House Tours (included with ticket) / Following the tea, you will also have a chance to visit select rooms of the Rosen House starting at 2:00pm, until 3:30pm. The rooms showcase fine examples of decorative arts from Europe and China including jade, porcelain, and textiles that the Rosens admired and collected.

Private, Docent-Guided Rosen House Tours (not included with ticket) / Private tours are available at 10:00am, 11:00am, and 12:00pm, and are available by appointment only; they tend to fill up quickly, so be sure to book in advance by calling the Box Office at 914.232.1252. Private tours are $15 for adults, and are free for Members and children under the age of 18.

      This is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I went to Caramoor for a Holiday tea with a friend and we both truly enjoyed the tour of the beautifully decorated Rosen House, the holiday music in the magnificent Music Room and the lovely tea. I would recommend it to anyone who would like a 'little escape'. Such a treat for all your senses!
