Festive Tea Service This Season at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort

Nov 20, 20181 min read

The Cascade Lounge inside the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort is pouring holiday tea services every Friday and Saturday from Friday, November 23 – Saturday, December 29.

To many tea lovers, it’s a holiday tradition they can’t pass up — three-courses of teas will be served to warm your belly.

Each course is one of its own, too. Depending on the day and time, you can expect to taste different flavors of loose leaf tea, champagne, finger sandwiches, scones, and a variety of holiday pastries.

On both days there are going to be two seating times, 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

The tea service is $45 per person, tax and gratuity not included, and the required reservations can be made by calling (520) 615-5496.

Loews Ventana Canyon Resort is located at 7000 N. Resort Dr. For more information and to keep up to date on the tea services, follow Loews Ventana Canyon Resort’s Facebook event page

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

@Bktacos made @Nytimes’ list of 41 standout Mexican restaurants across the country. Published Aug. 13, the list was compiled by reporters, editors and photographers who spent more than a year traveling the U.S. 

BK was the only Tucson restaurant included. Writer Bill Esparza highlighted its combination of Sonora-style carne asada and Sonoran hot dogs, a pairing he noted is distinct to Arizona. Benjamin and Karel Galaz, originally from Nacozari, Sonora, opened the restaurant in 1994.

Congratulations, @bktacos!🎉
