MORE DETAILS LATER

We have been to this tea years ago. They only do Thursdays and Saturdays - looks great! Parking is $20 per vehicle so people may want to carpool.

Enjoy Tea by the Sea, a special experience inspired by the herbs, vegetables, and fruits that grow in the Villa's authentically re-created first-century Roman gardens.

Tea is served in the Founder's Room, an elegant space featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Villa.

Sample Menu:

A basket of Seasonal House-Baked Scones and Tea Breads served with traditional accompaniments
Tea by the Sea was inspired by the Villa's authentically recreated first-century Roman gardens—and by visitors' fond memories of the Villa's beloved Tea Room, which closed in 1997. In a further tribute to early days of the Museum, the menu features Mrs. Garrett's carrot cake, made by our pastry chef from the personal recipe of Jean Garrett, the late wife of the Museum's first director, Stephen Garrett.
