Nestled in the historic village of Long Grove, Gerri’s Tea Room represents her roots and heritage as a native of Ireland and London-trained culinary aficionado. Opened in 2012, the Tea Room features a classic experience and introduction to the past time of afternoon tea in an elegant and charming setting. The high tea is inspired by British classics – an artful array of finger sandwiches, raisin scones, and petite pastries – a menu that represents authenticity. Gerri and her hosts fill delicate antique tea cups with freshly brewed and strained tea from antique silver teapots in Victorian attire. Following tea there will be time to walk around the shops of Long Grove. Transportation is by Park District bus. Walking is self-paced. Registration deadline is March 1 and refunds will not be issued after the deadline.
