Tea Room
An opportunity to discover culinary taste treats popular in the 1890's awaits the visitor to the Queen's Parlour Tea Room, located in the area of the Castle which was originally occupied by the greenhouse and later an open terrace, but now is a glass-enclosed room with a spectacular view, free from the whims of Colorado mountain weather changes.
When the Tea Room was in the planning stages, Victorian menus from regional hotels were studied and authentic recipes were collected. From this research of 1890's culinary arts, the Tea Room's original menus were created, and have been further developed over the years.
Year round, High Tea and Light Victorian Tea feature delicious homemade scones served with Devonshire cream, infused butters, and preserves, an assortment of vegetables, a fruit flute, a variety of Victorian-style sandwiches, and a sampling of several lovely desserts, as well as accompaniments. Both are full meals from which you will not go away hungry!
We need at least 72 hours notice and a credit card to hold your reservation. Enjoy a self-guided tour of the Castle for a reduced price, when in conjunction with Tea.
