The Art of Tea
Enjoy a respite from the world in the Metts Mansion with afternoon tea served by our charming docents. Delectable finger sandwiches, scones, cookies, and cakes are paired with an amazing variety of teas from around the globe.
You will enjoy a brief discussion of tea history and etiquette and become privy to some “Savannah Secrets” to help you feel more at home in the Deep South.
Afternoon Tea at the Metts Mansion is truly a relaxing and entertaining affair.
The History of the Mint Julep
Since the early 1700’s southerners have imbibed this sweet tradition. Our signature, made from scratch, Metts Mint Julep is much more palatable than her Kentucky cousin. We start by growing our own mint and blending bourbon and ‘suga water’ till we get it good and right.
As you trolley around Savannah's Historic Landmark District, you'll get glimpse of the history of The Hostess City. Upon arrival at The Metts Mansion, the Metts Mint Juleps flow freely accompanied by delectable hor’ dourves, an entertaining history and a tour of the home. Our hostesses will entertain you and let you in on a few "southern secrets" that will help you survive in the Deep South.
And, as you board the trolley for your return trip, you’ll take home more than just memories. The Mint Julep cup is yours to keep.
