Come enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and garden views from our Tea Room while savoring one of our delicious buttery scones paired with local jam and fresh lemonade. Or sit outside along the cool Keremeos Creek with fresh baked cookies and old-fashioned steeped iced tea. We also offer premium teas, coffee and delicious home-baked goodies.., just like Grandma’s kitchen. And yes, we love to cater events, too!
Come and visit us for a light, seasonal lunch featuring homemade soups carefully crafted from scratch, delicious picnic baskets, wholesome baking and thirst quenching beverages, all of which are handcrafted by our talented staff, to feature the finest seasonal ingredients found in our beautiful valley either from our own garden or from our neighbours’.
Our kitchen is open Thursday to Monday in peak season.
Served family-style or as a buffet, we can provide everything from grazing boards and light snacks to full lunches or dinners for as many as 75 guests. Want to organize a formal High Tea? Bagged lunches for a group hike or day exploring the wineries of the Similkameen Valley? Snacks and a full dinner for a wedding? A grazing table for an anniversary or celebration of life? Sandwich platters for a staff meeting? An intimate dinner for a family reunion? No matter the event, on our site or elsewhere in the Similkameen, we’ve got you covered.
Because every menu is seasonal and highly personalized, prices can vary significantly. A light grazing table with our own preserves, fruit, cheese and charcuterie could start at $12-15/person, lunches at $16-20/person and dinners starting at $25/plate.
Let us cook for you!
The only thing we love more than hosting visitors and events is cooking delicious food; as an heritage site with a keen interest in agriculture and forgotten food skills, we’re always experimenting in our kitchen, trying old recipes and playing with unusual ingredients from the many skilled farmers and orchardists here in the spectacular Similkameen Valley. Inspiration is everywhere: it can be found in our neighbours’ fields, farmsteads and root cellars as well as in the margin notes of many vintage family cookbooks.
Unlike many of the bigger catering companies, we have no set menus because every meal we make is unique, depending on what’s available and in season as well as your own preferences and budget. We don’t provide plated service or “tweezer food”, but we will fill you and your guests up on quality rustic food reflecting the character of both this spectacular property as well as the breathtaking valley we live in.
We’re excited to welcome you! Located in the spectacular countryside of Keremeos, our gardens provide a peaceful respite from the modern day world with a glimpse into the Similkameen Valley’s early agricultural history. You can explore the beautiful landscapes, learn about our rich history, or join us for an array of workshops and tours. For any inquiries or assistance, please reach out to us anytime.
