Peace Hill Farm Tearoom, VA

We don't often review tearooms outside TN but for Peace Hill Farm, we've made an exception.  www.historicpeacehill.com/afternoon-tea  ~ Charles City, VA.

Dancing Girl and I ventured out for tea on the very last day of our Virginia vacation, a cool and soggy day.  The chalkboard sign was a cheery welcome to Peace Hill Farm and so was Louise, our hostess, a beautiful teacup from Bath, England.

We had the place to ourselves that day and chose to sit in a cozy sunroom and despite the lack of sun, it was bright and warm.

Our tea adventure began with a steaming bowl of pumpkin soup, scrumptious and homemade, as was everything we were served that day. 

Our afternoon tea was a very generous tray of 4 different, freshly prepared and farm fresh sandwiches, tea cake, scone and shortbread.  4 or 5 loose-leaf tea options were just enough of a selection and our tea was piping hot and perfect. 

Darjeeling tea and a rosemary scone. 

We could have stayed even longer than we did, in fact, truly we could have stayed because Peace Hill Farm is also a bed and breakfast and events center, but our menfolk awaited our return and alas, we departed with promises to return...
