At the Ashdown Park and Country Club, the Winnie the Pooh-inspired “Hunny Pot Afternoon Tea” is a playful twist on a classic afternoon tea featuring honey-themed cakes, pastries, warm scones, and finger sandwiches. Drop into nearby Birchen Vineyards to pick up a jar of honey collected from their bee hives, and for a tour of the vineyard and to sample their award-winning still and sparkling wines, something the area is famed for.
