Deliciously warming and indulgent, The Palazzo Montecasino’s new Winter High Tea is the ultimate in wintery decadence, featuring a sumptuous range of savoury and sweet treats, just in time to keep the winter chill at bay.

A hotel renowned for its luxurious high teas, The Palazzo’s winter variation includes homemade apple pie, chocolate chilli torte, lemon & ginger cupcake, malva pudding with a milk tart topping, raspberry cheesecake, and classic chocolate tart, as well as assorted sandwiches such as cured salmon cucumber and crème fraiche, beef pastrami rocket and pickled red onion, Swiss cheese and tomato chutney, and turkey and peach confit.

Also on the plate are assorted quiches – spinach and feta and smoked salmon and cheese – as well as fresh scones with jam, grated cheese and cream.

All is accompanied by a delectable selection of freshly brewed teas and coffee.

“High tea at the Palazzo is a special occasion,” says Robert Jasper, General Manager of The Palazzo at Montecasino. “It’s an opportunity for guests to sit back and relax for the afternoon with someone special, and enjoy the extravagance of the high tea offering. The Palazzo setting, with lush gardens in which to enjoy the Highveld winter sunshine, combined with the palatial Tuscan-themed architecture, combine to make this High Tea a truly memorable treat.”

The price for the Palazzo Winter High Tea remains unchanged at R220 per person and is available every day from 14:00 to 17:00 until 31 August.
