Victorian Tea Luncheon

Saturday, May 2, 2026

11:30 am – 2 pm

This is one of Dakota City’s annual fundraisers and we are planning a very special tea luncheon and visit with Lady LaVonne.  Dakota City Heritage Village’s annual Victorian Tea Luncheon is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2026 at Crystal Lake Golf Club in Lakeville, MN.

This special event is an afternoon dedicated to celebrating and appreciating the incredible women in our lives.

Friends and relatives are invited to congregate in tea attire to appreciate an era gone by which includes a four-course meal with tea and entertainment. All ages are welcome! This is a great day to bring Mom, Grandmother, and Grandchildren together. A proper tea is a healing ritual between friends and family where trust, empathy, love and friendship abide.

Seating starts at 11:30 am with the tea luncheon starting at 12 noon. Crystal Lake Golf Club is located at 16725 Innsbrook Drive, Lakeville, MN.
