On our way home from the Biltmore Estate in Asheville NC, we decided to take a side trip to Gatlinburg TN. While in Gatlinburg, I looked up to see if there were any tea rooms in the area. The Wild Plum Tea Room showed up in my search and had good reviews. So off we went looking for it. We drove around the mountains outside of Gatlinburg for an hour or more before we finally found the tea room! It was 2:45pm in the afternoon and the tea room closed at 3:00pm. We decided to venture inside just to look around but once inside we were invited to sit and have tea. And so we did!
I shared with you in an earlier post our elegant Afternoon Tea experience at the Biltmore Estate Hotel. The Wild Plum Tea Room was a whole different experience…for you see it was located in a log cabin! The Wild Plum staff was so friendly and the food delicious. Truly a memorable experience from start to finish!
What a precious little treasure the Wild Plum Tea Room looks like. Isn’t it interesting how every place you go is different but it all is lovely at the same time. I would do that while we were on vacations, even on our river cruises in Europe. If I could find a Tea Room in the area, we would stop by and at least check out, if we couldn’t stop and sit down. I remember one in Glascow, Scotland we went to and had tea. It was a modern place, but it was just fantastic. I wish we had more of that here. Thank you for sharing Cristy, it’s always enlightning and a joy. Joyce
