Tea & Chocolate evening at Smugglers Cottage, Tolverne

Smugglers Cottage, Tolverne are hosting a Tea and Chocolate gastro evening on Saturday 9th October from 4pm. Smugglers Cottage was extensively renovated at the beginning of this year when the Newman family retired after more than 70 years. Tregothnan Estate, home to the Boscawen family since 1335, were the first to grow tea in the UK over 200 years ago, and now produce 14 different teas on the Estate.

The evening will begin with a tea and chocolate-infused cocktail and continue into a 2 hour Tea and Chocolate tasting masterclass with award winning chocolatier Marc Demarquette and Tregothnan's tea expert Jonathon Jones.

Following the masterclass you have the option of staying for a three course menu prepared by Smugglers Cottage head chef Carl Paparone. Each course will combine the flavours of Tregothnan Tea and chocolate matched with wines from the Smugglers Cellars.

Smugglers Cottage, Tolverne is situated on the Fal estuary in an amazing location. You can reach the tea rooms and restaurant by road or by water. Mooring along side the private pontoon is permissible for patrons. The views across the water are unique and well worth a visit.
