About

One of the great privileges of NC is its depth of cultural inspirations…

Celebrate Old-World traditions in a flamboyant afternoon of British elegance and learn about the history of tea and the culture that developed around it. This time, we’re infusing afternoon tea with a festive twist, adding a touch of holiday flair to the experience!

Sophie’s Grill and Bar is a family endeavor helmed by first-generation immigrants to America. Owner and Chef Desislava, or “Desy,” hails from Bulgaria and opened her restaurant as a way to share the love and hospitality of her grandmother’s cooking. Her staff is comprised of Chef Cristina from Romania, Sommelier Dalibor from Serbia and Pastry Chef Neli, also from Bulgaria.

Think of this class as a fabulous crash course in tea etiquette and history: attendees will indulge in proper British pastries and sandwiches while learning tea decorum and delving into the rich history of tea. Last but not least, guests are encouraged to don their most fantastic tea party attire.
