A More Considered Way to Host Afternoon Tea in Scottsdale

A beautiful home provides an exceptional setting for entertaining. It is personal, private and entirely reflective of the host, allowing an occasion to feel both polished and wonderfully relaxed.

Afternoon Tea is particularly suited to this style of entertaining. Savory bites, scones, pastries and tea, perhaps accompanied by champagne, create an afternoon designed for lingering conversation and the pleasure of being together.

Let the Home Be Part of the Experience

Afternoon Tea At Home™ feels naturally at home in a beautiful private residence. A gracious dining room, shaded terrace, courtyard or elegant living space becomes part of the experience.

The most memorable settings rarely feel overdone. Beautiful china, flowers, linens and thoughtful details are enough. Everything feels considered, yet nothing feels staged.

Give Guests Something Worth Lingering Over

Part of the pleasure of Afternoon Tea is its pace. Small, beautifully composed bites invite guests to taste, converse and linger.

A considered menu balances texture and flavor, crisp and creamy, savory and sweet, familiar and unexpected. At The Ideal Pastry, menus inspired by London, Paris and the Southwest are created as complete experiences, each with its own distinct point of view.

The Art of Effortless Entertaining

The finest entertaining has an ease about it.

Guests arrive to a beautiful setting, exceptional food and a host who is entirely present. There is no sense of production, only the feeling that every detail is exactly as it should be.

Afternoon Tea At Home™ brings that experience into the privacy of the host’s own world. The home provides the setting, the guest list is intimate and personal, and the afternoon unfolds with understated elegance.

For the Scottsdale or Paradise Valley host who appreciates beautiful things and knows the pleasure of entertaining well, it is a distinctly personal expression of hospitality.
