Every Thursday and Saturday afternoons 1 pm – 3 pm

Enjoy Tea by the Sea, a special experience inspired by the herbs, vegetables, and fruits that grow in the Villa’s authentically re-created first-century Roman gardens.

Feast on a Mediterranean-inspired menu of savory panini, sweet scones and tea breads, and gourmet cakes and tarts—along with fruits, cheeses, and a varied selection of teas. (Wine and prosecco are available for a small additional charge.) Tea is served in the Founder’s Room, an elegant space featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Villa.

Continue the culinary theme throughout your visit to the Getty Villa. You can deepen your appreciation of first-century Roman life by joining a knowledgeable docent for a tour of the Villa’s gardens, including a new culinary-inspired garden tour that begins at 2:30. You’ll explore herbs and fruits that were once savored by the ancient Romans—several of which feature in Tea by the Sea’s seasonal menu—and discover their meanings in Roman myth and art. Browse the galleries to look at the luxurious silver, glass, and bronze vessels on Floor 1, and learn the story of wine in antiquity in Gallery 213.

Admission: $36 per person, plus tax and 18% gratuity. Reservation needed
