SVS Hacienda High Tea with Violet Cakes, Sonoma, CA

The SVS joined us for our first-ever Hacienda High Tea, with a menu crafted by Claire Ptak of London’s Violet Cakes. Members delighted in silver towers of hand-held bites, including traditional tea sandwiches, Estate-grown plum scones, tahini and halva brownies and madeleines with peach-leaf creme anglaise, all made in-house by the Hacienda kitchen team, and paired with the wines of the summer release and a few special sparkling selections from the library.
