The Queens of May

In honour of mothers, this fine spring day,
We gather in grace for a fête in May.
An afternoon steeped in elegance and cheer,
With those we cherish most held near.

At Château Frank, the table is laid,
In the style of teas where traditions are made—
With scones served warm and sandwiches slight,
And delicate sweets to finish just right.

With Brut Rosé to welcome the day,
Then Grüner and Pinot along the way—

A curated flight, both poised and bright,
To savour slowly, bite by bite.

As afternoon light begins to soften and sway,
Blooms come forth in the spirit of May—
With Nouveau Flower Farm to guide and inspire,
A bouquet to craft, to take home and admire.

Select your seating and join in the day,
Where beauty and ritual gently hold sway—
A toast to mothers, in every way,
The timeless grace of the Queens of May.

This Mother’s Day, give more than a gift. Give an experience.

Join us at Château Frank for The Queens of May, a beautifully curated afternoon inspired by the elegance of British tea traditions and the joy of spring in the Finger Lakes.

Guests will be welcomed with a glass of Brut Rosé before enjoying a series of seasonal courses, from savory scones and delicate tea sandwiches to a stunning raspberry tart, each thoughtfully paired with our wines.

Floral Arrangement with Nouveau Flower Farm –

As the afternoon draws to a close, each guest will be guided through the creation of their own take-home floral arrangement — a hands-on, joy-filled experience led by Holly Fusco, Hospitality Manager at Dr. Frank and owner of Nouveau Flower Farm. Leave with blooms in hand and the warmth of a truly special day in your heart.

It’s an afternoon designed to slow down, connect, and celebrate the people who matter most.
