Gather Around
Served in the luxurious parlors of this grand mansion built by Lyman Robinson in 1882, our High Tea is a special affair. Tea time emerged as a wonderful tradition across British homes a few decades before the Royal Gorge Mansion came to life in the U.S. Known for its sweet and savory treats, accompanied by spectacular freshly brewed teas and clotted cream, Afternoon Tea became an excellent excuse for gathering dear friends and family.
Wine Tastings at the Royal Gorge Mansion beckon you to relax with friends and family while enjoying excellent old and new world wines and charcuterie. Dine inside our beautifully decorated historic home or sit outside and take in the lush beauty of this historic estate.
Reservations for Afternoon Tea and Wine Tastings are not yet available to book. Coming soon!
