Earlier this year I paid a visit to a good friend in Vancouver, it had been a while and we needed to catch up.
Not overly familiar with coffee shops and restaurants in Vancouver, I decided to ask around, I wanted to find the perfect setting so we could talk, sip and snack the afternoon away. And I wanted it to be interesting and unique; a wish list that was not going to be easy to fulfill.
Then I was recommended the Fairmont Palliser’s Afternoon Tea; it had it ALL!
When I first arrived for our reservation we were escorted to a beautifully set table of colourful and expensive looking china.
A large menu of tea to choose from also awaited us, and with guidance we were each able to choose a delicious selection.
As we gossiped and laughed a ‘tower’ of some of the tastiest scones, tea sandwiches and sweets were delivered. I quickly tied my linen napkin around my neck as a bib!
Our tea was topped up and we spent two hours enjoying the full VIP service, and each others friendship.
It was most definitely the best mid-afternoon date I have ever had.
And now Fairmont Calgary is hosting something even a bit more special; their first-ever Pop-Up Afternoon Tea event and they want a set of my readers to experience it first!
The Fairmont Palliser’s Afternoon Tea will be served like never before. A decadent tea party, held at a surprise Calgary location on Saturday, August 18th, from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
The venue and details are so secretive that they won’t even tell me! In true Pop-Up form, the location of the event will be kept a secret until three days prior to the occasion.
There is limited space available for this exclusive occasion and the cost is a very reasonable; $50/ per guest. But as I said, two of you will be going compliments of Fab and Fairmont Palliser.
As always you’ll have two ways to enter;

Tell me, “Who would you take?”
Good luck to all my readers, but with an afternoon this amazing I would absolutely recommend that you book your spots and not chance this giveaway… If you win, just take 2 more friends with you!

Trust me, you don’t want to miss this!
Friends, food and time together that you’ll never forget!
Mr. Fab-up Tea
I would take my best friend Jonathan who just moved back to Calgary from Vancouver. Even miles away he is always here for me.
I would take my BFF Crystal – she just graduated with her second degree and is about to take off for Spain for a few weeks! It would be awesome to get to spend some time with her before she jets off!
I love afternoon tea! And I would take my husband!
Hands down I would take my bestie Tanis! We’ve been each others’ sidekicks for the past 15 years.
I promise to bring our most fabulous selves to the event sans our sidekick capes and onesies… we’ll do a one-time trade-in for heels and sundresses that day 🙂
Oh wow, I LOVE high tea, what an incredible giveaway and a wonderful new event! I’ve always heard amazing things about tea at the Fairmont Palliser but I’ve never gone… it\’s always been on my wishlist!
I would take my grandmother with me. She\’s a traditional girly-girl at heart and she\’s always loved all the lace and frills of a teaparty! She would absolutely adore this and it would be such a great way to let her know what a rockin’ grandma she\’s been to me all these years. 🙂
Really hope I win, keep up all the fabulous (wink wink) work! 🙂
I would take my best friend. She is now a bit of a high-tea connoisseur (frequenting the Banff Springs high tea often), but I love the twist on this pop-up one! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I would take my girl friend from the UK who appreciates a fine tea & misses ‘home’ terribly!
I would take my friend Scarlett who lives in Vancouver as it would surely tempt her to come visit me in a way my friendship alone, cannot. (I moved here from Vancouver not long ago and I miss her and her tea obsession dearly).
I’d take my Bestie Ryan if I lived in Calgary!!
Afternoon tea is my favourite!!
I would of course take my fabulous girlfriend who loves tea more than anyone else I know. But more than that, she loves getting dressed up for tea. 🙂
My mom!! Xo
I would take my KS Braden! We have some serious debriefing to do… and we’re classy, so high tea would be perfect!
Hey Mr. Fab, I’d take one of my girlfriends. Or my mom. Or one of my neighbours. Hmm maybe we should just plan to have a tea party! Count me in 😉
OMG! Love afternoon tea! I went at Kensington Palace in London during the Jubilee. Would definitely take my Gramma! She gave me some of her old tea cups and saucers and I love having tea with her!
I would take my 82 yr old mother. What a special treat for both of us!
I would take my amazing boyfriend Jeff and take pictures of all the fabulous socialites there!
I would bring one of my girlfriends who is annoyed with me as an effort to make nice 🙂
Sounds amazing! I would take my mother. She’s always working and never takes time for herself. This would make her feel fancy and wonderful. Good luck to all!
I would bring one of my amazing gfs who also appreciate petite little savoury and sweet items!
I would take my awesome and handsome husband. One of us is always working and the other is looking after our 2 babies (2 years and 10 months). We need some refined time together! 🙂
Congrats to Crystal (comment above) who was randomly selected as the winner of the tea for two!!!
I am SO Jealous!
