High Teas In The DC Area

by Victoria Frost

High teas are back in fashion. And why not? They are such a delightful way to spend a little time savoring the elegant lifestyle of a by-gone era. I've been collecting a list of places in the DC area that offer high tea in the hopes of sampling each one! So when you are ready....give me a call!

Bailiwick Inn
4023 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax, VA 22030   (703) 691-2266

All inn guests are invited to join us every day for our afternoon tea with scones and cheeses. We invite public guests to sample our hospitality at our more formal Afternoon tea that is served in our intimate parlors. Our "Traditional English High Tea" includes a variety of cheeses and savories, our special Bailiwick Scones, and an assortment of sweets.

High teas are served Sunday and Tuesday afternoons at 3:30PM $22.00 on Tuesday and $27.00 on Sunday. Tax and Gratuity Additional.

Private Tea Reservations are also available with a minimum of 20 people and last from 1 to 2 Hours.

The Willard Intercontinental
1401 Pennsylvania Avenue NW,   Washington, D.C.   (202) 628-9100

Just a block from the White House stands the beautifully restored Beaux Arts "new" Willard which has hosted visitors and natives to DC since 1816. You'll love their tea, held in The Nest, a former sitting room overlooking the main lobby. Available daily.
