High Tea With a Side of History
The Chinese Tea House at Marble House is more than a stunning setting — it’s a symbol of strength, beauty, and resilience. Originally a birthday gift from William Vanderbilt to his wife Alva Belmont, the marble mansion was completed in the late 1800s. In 1908, Alva added the cliffside tea house, inspired by Song Dynasty artistry and culture. A dedicated suffragist, Alva used the tea house not only for hosting but also as a secret meeting space for women’s rights advocacy.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to connect with inspiring women in global trade, surrounded by elegance and history.
