Afternoon Tea at The Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary NC

(This post is a "Blast From the Past" from 2017)
Stephanie, Erica, and I wanted to go on an adventure.  We like tea so we decided to try Afternoon Tea at the Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary.
Here are a couple of quotes from their website...

"Afternoon Tea is served in the lobby lounge, situated amongst the art adorned walls, enhanced by the hotel's Dale Chihuly glass sculpture. Afternoon Tea is a welcoming and elegant way to spend an afternoon socializing."

"Afternoon Tea is served Wednesday - Sunday from 2:30-4:00pm." 

"Live harpist accompaniment adds to the soothing environment."

 Click for a PDF of the menu along with the types of tea they serve.  I chose Earl Grey Tea.  It was lovely.

 I think tea sandwiches are so much fun.  I don't know if I could pick a favorite they were all delicious.

After the tea sandwiches, we were served a variety of scones. Yummy. 

And yes, if you were wondering, we ate all of those too:-)

Now it was time for the final course, "Sweets". I absolutely loved the Macarons.  All the desserts were delicious. (By this time we were on the full side so we did not finish them all:-)

That is Erica and me in the photo below.
 Sadly Steph was not in the photo but she was there which was the most important thing.
The interior of the Umstead is lovely.

 We took a little outdoor walking tour.

We enjoyed our visit to the Umstead Hotel for Afternoon Tea.  The venue was inviting and the food and tea delicious.  I would love to return.
If you find yourself in Cary NC and you like Afternoon Tea, I would suggest you try the Umstead Hotel and Spa for your tea sipping adventure.

Happy Travels and Food Adventures Everyone!
