Afternoon Tea at the Inn on the Biltmore Estate

Friday after Thanksgiving was a leisure day for the family

with afternoon tea scheduled at 1:15 p.m. at the Inn on the Bilktmore Estate.

Glenn and Kaitlyn enjoyed the traditional afternoon tea.

See menu above.

 Austin and I enjoyed the gluten free version of the
traditional afternoon tea. 

This was the third time during 2019 we had afternoon tea
at the Biltmore Estate. 
Visiting Biltmore and participating in the activities is a family favorite.

Afternoon Tea at The Drake

 Afternoon Tea at The Drake in Chicago

on Sunday afternoon, October 13th.

Our three-tiered server was arranged differently than we had

experienced, but it was a good idea for two gluten free and one

regular afternoon tea.  Each of us had a separate plate, gluten free plates

were on the top and bottom and the regular one for Glenn was

on the middle tier.

 

 

 

 

 

 



Afternoon Tea in Chicago

We went to Chicago for Austin's fall break.

I had made advance reservations for Saturday afternoon tea at

the Peninsula Hotel in The Lobby Restaurant and Sunday at the Drake Hotel.

We attended Hamilton on Saturday night.

I thought we would reserve Monday for sightseeing, therefore no tea reservations.

Well, my guys enjoyed afternoon tea at the Peninsula so much on Saturday

that they made reservations for Monday. 

Austin rated it the "best gluten free afternoon tea he ever had."

Yes, it was the same menu both times, but I'll never complain if these guys want to

schedule afternoon tea.
