Afternoon Tea celebrating 100 years of the 100 acre woods!! Winnie-the-Pooh all September! 🍯🧸🎈

“Isn’t it funny how a bear likes honey? Buzz, buzz, buzz! I wonder why he does?”
Gather up your friends for a journey into the Hundred Acre Woods! Come by balloon, umbrella, or simply bounce your way over to our front door for a whimsical tea party inspired by Winnie-the-Pooh. Here you’ll find sweet treats to cheer up even the most dour of donkeys, carrot-cake scones fit for fussy rabbits, and teas that can be enjoyed by both Kanga and her little Roo.

Our three tiers of sweet and savory morsels are more than enough to tempt a honeybee from its hive, and our teas are perfectly paired for a picnic with Piglet. You may not find that sneaky woozle, but we can promise a storybook setting and a chance to recharge your imagination. We would love to see your favorite “stuffed with fluff” companions as there’s always room at the table for a plushie pal.

You can find your way to Owl’s tree house from SEPTEMBER 2ND to 27TH. Come and visit us before a Heffalump snatches this menu away!

Greetings from Genovia! We are pleased to invite you to a tea party hosted by our royal court, where you will be our guest of honor. It would be our delight to transform your everyday life into something extraordinary, if only for a short while. There is no need for passports or plane tickets to travel to faraway lands with our Princess Diaries inspired menu. Please rest assured that while this feast is fit for nobility, no etiquette lessons are required.

Summer! Summer is here! July brings us sunshine, fireflies, endless blue skies, and evening fireworks. We can let our hearts guide us to the simple pleasures of life that can be found as we wander through orchards, or as we sit on the porch and catch up with good company. Hear the creak of a screen door and feel the breeze that breaks the heat of the day as we invite you to our Peach Party Afternoon Tea.

Here the delicate aroma of fresh brewed tea blends with the fresh-picked flavor of peaches. Each fresh peach is sourced locally from our neighbor Isom’s Orchard with the hope that every carefully curated tier will bring you the joy of a summer’s day with the peace and pleasure of a tree-shaded picnic.

Our orchard inspired menu is in season from JULY 1ST to AUGUST 2ND. Make your reservations at lanierhousemadison.com now, as missing this peachy menu would simply be the pits!

The biggest thank you to Isom’s Orchard for letting us take our menu pictures in their incredible peach orchard! They sell locally grown produce year round from their beautiful location on Highway 72 about 2.5 miles east of I-65 in Athens,AL. You can also stop by for some of their famous slushies, jams, or honey!

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more” is exactly how we feel about our savories this month! Only two weeks left of our Emma themed tea!

04/28/2026

May is the month of flowers, picnics held in blooming strawberry fields, and the promise of good things to come. We bid you to gather with your dearest friends and companions to enjoy a moment in time with our menu inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma. Just as Emma had such confidence in her matchmaking skills, we are certain that we have created a menu that promises both delicious flavor and the elegance of a Regency-era story.

Don your best looks and most charming behavior as we propose a three-tiered triumph of sweet and savory delights. Our teas are perfectly matched and offer a chance to take in a gentler world, if only for a little while.

Our Emma-inspired menu will run from Wednesday, May 6th to Sunday, May 31st. We wish exceedingly for you to join us, lest we be parted from your good company.
