It's always a good time for tea – especially if tea is at Historic Deepwood Estate in Salem, Oregon! Whether enjoying just a nibble (tea and scone) on the first Saturday of the month, or an assortment of items at one of the fabulous multi-course seasonal teas, having tea at Deepwood is a wonderful experience. Walking through the gardens and up the front staircase … waiting in the Solarium for the appointed hour … savoring the hot tea and feeling your jangled nerves unwinding … taking a tour of the 1984 Queen Anne Victorian home … it's a relaxing celebration that you're invited to share! By the way, if you feel that taking yourself and a friend or family-member to tea with no special occasion is too indulgent, just call it an “educational experience”. You're sure to pick up a bit of history during your tour of Deepwood, and learn interesting information as special guests share their expertise during Deepwood's “Pouring History” teas.
