Ackerman Tea Ceremony with a Napa Twist

Spend a leisurely afternoon basking in either the opulent Sitting Room, Parlor or formal Dining Room at the Ackerman Heritage House. 

Enjoy Ackerman’s unique tea ceremony served on period-correct antique china, beautiful table linens and sterling silverware, carefully curated by Lauren Ackerman. 

While listening to recorded French jazz, enjoy tiers of delectable savory bites, dainty tarts, seasonal house-made butter and flaky pastries perfectly paired with all organic teas sourced by Tea and Trumpets in Sonoma.
