A Summer Afternoon Tea

Escape the summer heat and step back in time to a more elegant era aboard our beautifully restored 1920s Pullman dining cars. Start your afternoon with a refreshing Strawberry Prosecco as you settle in for a 1.5-hour scenic excursion through the Connecticut River Valley.

Enjoy Harney & Sons' iced teas (including fan-favorite Indigo Punch) and a classic selection of hot teas. Indulge in a traditional tea service featuring assorted finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and petite desserts — a delightful treat sure to make you feel like royalty.

This sophisticated experience is the perfect summer indulgence, offering relaxation, indulgence, and timeless charm.
