Wrapped in the stillness of the winter landscape, guests are invited into a warm indoor escape shaped by whispers of gothic ambiance and literary inspiration.  Guests will savor a curated selection of Piper & Leaf artisan teas paired with a winter-inspired menu of finger sandwiches and darkly elegant desserts, highlighting blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, and other seasonal fruits that nod subtly to Poe’s palette of depth and shadow. A quietly moody photo vignette invites guests to preserve this moment in quiet reverie.  This intimate gathering welcomes just 50 guests to share conversation, ambiance, and the hushed beauty of the Conservatory in winter, where the atmosphere itself seems to lean in and listen.  Reserve your place now—a gothic tea in the Conservatory awaits.  Ticket PricingGarden Members*$50Non-Members$60*Become a Garden Member and enjoy exclusive discounts, special programs, and more—plus free daily admission and reciprocal benefits at over 380 gardens nationwide!
