The Windsor Hotel's Afternoon Tea

One of the grandest experiences in Melbourne, Afternoon Tea at The Windsor has been celebrated for over a century – generations of families, friends and brides-to-be gathering to catch up over silver-tiered stands of petite cakes, sandwiches, scones and Champagne.

Held in the city's last remaining grand hotel, a heritage-listed Victorian era property, afternoon tea is a cherished tradition with a modern touch. Start with a cocktail – an espresso martini or Windsor martini (made with the hotel's custom-blended tea) perhaps – select from the specialty tea menu, and savour your way through the dessert buffet on weekends. You'll find a chocolate fountain too.

An afternoon tea connoisseur, The Windsor is known to cater to dietary requirements, and also features a children's afternoon tea menu celebrating nostalgic Australian childhood favourites.

This is a Melbourne experience not to be missed.
