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.
About Tea by the Sea Tea by the Sea was inspired by the Villa's authentically recreated first-century Roman gardens—and by visitors' fond memories of the Villa's beloved Tea Room, which closed in 1997. In a further tribute to early days of the Museum, the menu features Mrs. Garrett's carrot cake, made by our pastry chef from the personal recipe of Jean Garrett, the late wife of the Museum's first director, Stephen Garrett. How to Get Here The Getty Villa is located at 17985 Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades, California, approximately 25 miles west of downtown Los Angeles. Parking is $15. See Hours, Directions, Parking for directions and parking information. |
