Dinwiddie: Queen's Library Tea Room, Regency-era style afternoon tea at picturesque venue

DINWIDDIE — Queen's Library Tea Room, known for its British-style afternoon tea experiences and one of Dinwiddie's newest event venues collaborate to offer Afternoon Tea at White Oak Manor for families, friends, co-workers and neighbors to enjoy.

White Oak Manor is a charming farmhouse venue nestled on 52 acres of Virginia countryside. Recently renovated by owners Alex and Paige Christopher, it promises to be a leading wedding venue in the region, blending historic charm with elegant modern amenities.

"It's inspiring to see two small businesses come together to offer something truly special to our community. This collaboration not only enhances our offerings but also supports the local economy and showcases the beauty of Dinwiddie," Daniel Luna, owner of The Queen’s Library of Richmond, shared.

Guests who attended the Afternoon Tea at White Oak Manor were captivated by the unique setting and warm hospitality. Impressed by the serene surroundings and rich history of the area, many expressed their excitement about exploring Dinwiddie further, according to Luna.

The collaboration exemplifies a growing trend of small businesses partnering to offer diverse and enriching experiences for locals and visitors alike. As The Queen's Library continues to expand its mobile tea party offerings across Virginia, partnerships are integral to showcase the unique charm of small towns and venues throughout the state.

"We envision more of these tea parties across Richmond and Virginia," Luna added. "It's about bringing people together for an elegant and memorable experience that celebrates community and tradition."

The next three Regency-era style afternoon teas will be on Saturday July 20 from 3 - 5 p.m. and Saturday, July 27 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. and 3 - 5 p.m. The two-hour experience is $65 per person.
