Tea at Twilight

Seated tea service | Social, shared tables | Advance registration required

Step into a serene, seasonal escape at our autumn social tea, Tea at Twilight, an intimate shared gathering nestled in the elegant Carriage House. Inspired by the golden glow of early fall, this refined yet relaxed event invites guests to slow down, connect, and savor the beauty of the season.

Set among delicate tableware, garden-fresh arrangements, and warm autumn hues, guests will enjoy a seated tea service featuring artisan blends by Piper and Leaf and a thoughtfully crafted menu inspired by the bounty of a fall harvest.

As golden hour light filters through the windows, our harpist will set a graceful tone. A seasonal photo op will be available to capture the moment and share with your online following.

This event is part of Festifall, our seasonal celebration at the Garden in September and October, proudly sponsored by First Horizon Bank.
