"Mount Vernon The first president's estate held its inaugural holiday tea last year; it sold out almost immediately, so book your table early. This year's tea will be served in the Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant with live harp music.

Holiday afternoon tea returns across Washington in hotel lobbies and historic homes with festive treats, steaming pots of tea, and often sparkling beverages. Offerings span themed services like a Nutcracker Afternoon Tea with Land of the Sweets treats, sparkling cider for children, and Domain Chandon for adults, to harp music in Peacock Alley and gingerbread displays. Historic sites serve petits fours and sandwiches with minimum group requirements and scenic grounds to explore. Mount Vernon recommends early booking after a sold-out inaugural tea. Hay-Adams offers scones, sandwiches, and optional tableside hot toddies, while Alexandria pairs a lecture with a traditional British tea.
