Holiday Tea & Tour
Join us for a festive Holiday Tea & Tour at Ford House on Sunday, December 6, in the elegant Lake Shore Room.
Guests will enjoy a beautifully presented tea service featuring seasonal savories, pastries, and sweets, thoughtfully prepared and served with the warmth and refinement Eleanor Ford favored during the holidays. The full menu will be released in the fall, offering a preview of the seasonal flavors guests can look forward to enjoying.
Following tea, guests are invited to a self-paced visit through the Main Residence and grounds, where they can experience the home decorated in Eleanor’s understated holiday style and take a winter stroll through the gardens.
Blending holiday tradition with the quiet beauty of Ford House, this experience offers a meaningful way to gather with friends and family during the season.
Tickets are sold by table, and seating is limited. Early purchase is encouraged to ensure your place at this cherished holiday tradition.
To create the best possible experience for every guest, table sizes and placements are thoughtfully arranged in advance and cannot be adjusted.

What to Wear
