This Valentine’s Day weekend, Nemacolin invites guests to immerse themselves in romance and whimsy with Bisou Bisou by Paris Starn, a luxurious high tea experience blending culinary artistry and rococo-inspired elegance. Taking place from February 14–16, 2025, in The Bleu Room at The Chateau, this event is perfect for couples, friends celebrating Galentine’s, or those seeking an unforgettable afternoon of indulgence.

Event Highlights

Guests will embark on a multi-course journey of exquisitely crafted delights, featuring savory biscuit sandwiches, delicate quiches, and decadent sweets such as truffles and tartlets. Paris Starn’s artistry ensures every bite reflects the spirit of Versailles. The menu will be paired with fragrant teas, champagne, and bespoke cocktails, complemented by surprise entertainment to enhance the experience.

Set in The Bleu Room, inspired by le cabinet de la Méridienne — Marie Antoinette’s private room for rest and napping in Versailles — the space exudes timeless opulence. With blue marble tiles, a hand-painted ceiling, and blue-lacquered furniture, this setting elevates the high tea to a truly regal affair.

Why Attend?

Rococo-inspired artistry is a style that emerged in France during the 18th century, and it incorporates pastels, ivory, and hints of gold intertwined with scrolled and curved lines. Fun, whimsy, and the lighthearted themes of playfulness and love were often featured during this period. Nemacolin and The Blue Room are the perfect place for this delightful style, with its opulent design beautifully complementing the affectionate touch of bisou (meaning “kiss” in French). Together, they create an atmosphere of romance and satiation, inviting guests to discover enchantment, refinement, elegance, and charm.

Bisou Bisou by Paris Starn is priced at $275 per guest, plus tax and gratuity, with several seatings available. This 90-minute high tea offers a multi-course menu, tea service, Champagne, cocktails, and takeaway memories one won’t forget. It’s a must-experience event, designed to surprise and delight in every detail.

Beyond the tea, Nemacolin invites guests to elevate their weekend with romantic spa treatments like the Cupid’s Glow Facial or a magical horse-drawn carriage ride through the snow-covered Laurel Highlands. Fine dining, luxurious accommodations, and curated activities further enrich the resort’s Valentine’s Day and long holiday weekend offerings.
