Step into an elegant, timeless setting for a refined afternoon tea experience at the Rossetti Estate, a stunning backdrop of historic charm and warmth. The room will be softly lit by natural light streaming through large windows, casting delicate shadows across the antique furniture and elegant table settings. The Baroque Rococo-inspired decor, with its ornate touches, creates a cozy yet regal ambiance, making this a truly unique and intimate gathering.

You’ll have the option to enjoy your tea indoors or outdoors, depending on your preference and the weather. Indoors, guests will gather around a beautifully set table for eight, adorned with fine china, delicate silverware, and fresh flowers, evoking an air of sophistication. The soft hum of background music, along with the charming atmosphere of the estate, will create a tranquil space for conversation and enjoyment. Alternatively, the outdoor garden offers a serene, open-air setting, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant blooms. You’ll sip your tea on a quaint garden patio, where the natural beauty of the estate’s gardens creates an enchanting, peaceful escape.

As you and your guests settle in, expect a selection of fine teas, ranging from classic Earl Grey to delicate white tea and herbal blends, all served in elegant teapots, steaming gently, inviting everyone to take a moment to unwind and enjoy the flavor profiles of each brew. You’ll be guided through the tea options, learning about the history and benefits of each variety, creating a more immersive and educational experience.

Accompanying the tea will be an array of delicious finger sandwiches from local bakeries, including cucumber, smoked salmon, and egg salad. Freshly baked scones, served warm with clotted cream and jam, will melt in your mouth. The sweet treats will follow—petite pastries, fruit tarts, and bite-sized cakes—each carefully chosen to create the perfect balance between savory and sweet.

As the tea flows, conversation will naturally turn to the delights of the afternoon. Guests can enjoy an open dialogue while appreciating the beautiful surroundings, the artwork adorning the walls, or the natural beauty of the garden. Whether it’s a celebration with friends or a quiet afternoon with family, this experience offers the perfect atmosphere for connection, relaxation, and a moment of indulgence.

The experience will conclude with guests feeling refreshed and satisfied, having shared in 2 hours of good conversation, exquisite tea, and delectable treats. Whether indoors or in the garden, it will be a perfect afternoon, bringing both elegance and comfort together in a truly memorable way.
