Here are some of our personal favourites for organising an afternoon tea in Melbourne:
- Olinda Tea House: Elegant, romantic and environmentally conscious - what more could you want from a space for your event? Located in the peaceful Dandenong Ranges just 50 km from the Melbourne CBD it is a bit of a drive, but it is so worth it.
- True Fairies: A Croydon venue that brings fairytales to life! Once you enter this magically decorated manor, you will want to stay in this world forever.
- Anton Venoir Interiors: Perfect for antique lovers! If you are looking for a glimpse into another century during your afternoon tea, this space is the one to go with.
The main difference is the timing and type of food: high tea is a bigger meal later in the day, while afternoon tea is a lighter, mid-afternoon treat. In Australia, high tea is like a hearty dinner enjoyed in the evening, with dishes like meat, bread, and veggies. On the other hand, afternoon tea is a lighter, more social event in the late afternoon, featuring finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries with tea.
