The Westin Melbourne’s new winter offering has a wow factor, a beautifully presented menu that tastes just as fabulous as it looks.

Melburnians are well-known for their love of coffee, so it comes as no surprise that a venue has given the high tea concept a thoroughly Melbourne twist and introduced high coffee.

When you get an invite to Madame Brussels for a Mad Hatter’s Marsanne Party, it’s safe to assume you can expect the unexpected.

The ironic thing about many high tea venues in Melbourne is that the focus on delivering the perfect ribbon sandwiches and petit fours often overshadows that other important element – the tea.

A high tea walking tour on a 40 degree day – what could go wrong?

From the beautiful dining room decorated stylishly with ornate chandeliers, artwork and plush seating, to each individual table adorned with white linen tablecloths and napkins and Noritake home wares, the Hotel Windsor boasts old-school class and elegance.

There’s fewer joys than enjoying a traditional high tea in a castle. At Overnewton Castle, the High Tea Society got to do just that.

It’s clear from the second you walk into the Om Nom Kitchen and Dessert Bar that high tea at this venue is not your traditional ribbon sandwiches and scones affair.
