Afternoon Tea in The Dining Room

Temporarily unavailable.

Inspired by the Vanderbilt tradition of sharing afternoon tea with guests, The Dining Room’s unique take on this elegant experience features Newby Teas, renowned as one of the world’s finest tea purveyors. Tea is served with such delights as fresh-baked scones with clotted cream, honey, and preserves, artfully prepared sweet and savory canapés, and finely cut tea sandwiches. To further enhance this welcome moment of leisure, indulge in a carefully crafted tea-infused cocktail, Mimosa, or Kir Royale.

Casual Elegant/Cocktail attire (collared button-down shirts, slacks or well-kept denim, blouses, dresses, and skirts) is recommended and encouraged for all guests over eight years old. Shorts, flip-flops, hats, ripped or torn clothing, and athletic attire are not recommended, and pajamas, swimsuits, and bathrobes are not permitted.

To participate in this activity guest must have a daytime ticket, a Biltmore Annual Pass, or a stay at one of the estate’s splendid overnight properties.
