Falcon Rest Mansion and Tearoom

On a fine, sun-filled April morning our Mid-TN Tea Travelers made plans to journey to  McMinnville, TN and enjoy afternoon tea at Falcon Rest Mansion and Tearoom.

This self-described Victorian tearoom was inside a separate, small, dark building with no windows across a gravel lot from the historic mansion also located on the property.  Our building was 2/3 musty gift shop and 1/3 pink tearoom.

There were no other guests there that day.  All our food and additional hot water was prepared and brought from another building and was very slow in coming.  Our meal came pre-plated, as show above, under a domed metal cover.  The food was fair and sadly the tea was a selection of teabags with warm water refills from time to time.  Overall we were disappointed in this tearoom experience yet, as always, we enjoyed our time together.
