Our newest & most elegant holiday tea experience.

Feel the grandeur of the holiday season at our all-new elegant Tannenbaum Teas. These exclusive events invite guests to experience every sparkle of Holiday Walk – when the historic mansion is otherwise closed to the public. On this special Guided Holiday Walk Tour – the only guided tour available during the Holidays at Meadow Brook – you’ll learn about the inspiration behind our gorgeous décor and hear stories of the Dodge & Wilson family at Yuletide. Enjoy a sumptuous tea filled with delectable sweets and savories and sip something cheerful at the open bar. This event includes complimentary valet and the opportunity to have a portrait taken of your group.

Tannenbaum Tea tickets must be booked online in advance.
