This is the WELSH TEA HOUSE that PRINCESS DIANA visited in Gaiman, Chubut, Patagonia Argentina 🍰🇦🇷☕🐑

Подробнее о видео

Come join us for another travel episode from Argentina where we have afternoon tea at Ty Te Caerdyd, the Welsh Tea House, that Princess Diana visited in Gaiman, Chubut. We kick things off with a visit to a farmhouse called Narlu which specializes in delicious jams, cakes and other fruits which you can pick directly from the trees and vines.

After walking back into Gaiman we followed many signs until we finally reached Ty Te Caerdydd. The place is more than we expected in terms of beautiful gardens and a pristine property. We ended up ordering a full afternoon tea set which came with buttery breads and a wonderful assortment of cakes and tea and coffee. It was an experience we'd highly recommend for anyone visiting Gaiman. Considering we had to wait for an evening bus it was a great way to spend the day.

🍰 Welsh Tea & Farm Life in Gaiman, Patagonia – A Sweet Day of Cakes, Gardens, & Culture 🇦🇷☕🐑

🌄 Arrival in Gaiman & Farm Visit

The video begins with a return to Gaiman, a charming Welsh-Argentine town in Patagonia, this time to explore the outskirts and discover local farm life.

Hosts take a local bus and short taxi ride to Quinta Narlu, a working farm owned by a fourth-generation Welsh-Argentine named Narlu.

The farm features lush fields, fragrant lavender, and a small shop selling homemade jams, honey, souvenirs, and—most importantly—Welsh cakes and fresh seasonal fruit.

🥧 Picnic Among the Orchards

The hosts buy a basket of fresh raspberries and a traditional Welsh cake, then stroll the tranquil grounds, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere and enjoying the hospitality of the owner.

They highlight the farm’s relaxed vibe: friendly locals, slow pace, birdsong, and an open invitation to pick and sample apples from the orchard (though they politely pay for what they take).

The Welsh cake is described as moist, rich with raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, and a hint of rum—evoking festive Christmas cake flavors.

Fresh raspberries are juicy and tart, bursting with local flavor—proof that farm-to-table really is the tastiest way to snack.

🚶‍♂️ Walking Back to Town – Scenic & Sweaty!

After the farm picnic, the duo opts to walk 30-40 minutes back into Gaiman, noting the sunny, warm weather and the wardrobe mishaps (flannel in the Patagonian sun!).

Along the way, they cross picturesque rural roads, passing orchards and local animals, before reaching the heart of town for the next foodie adventure.

☕ Royal Afternoon Tea at Ty Te Caerdyd

The highlight of the day is a lavish Welsh afternoon tea at Ty Te Caerdyd, the same teahouse once visited by Princess Diana!

The hosts laugh about following endless signs through winding streets before arriving at a stunning, luxurious teahouse surrounded by blooming gardens.

The tea spread is spectacular: scones, artisanal breads, ham and cheese sandwiches (sandwiches de miga), and an array of homemade jams. The setting is serenely elegant, complete with soft music and fountains.

🍰 The Cake Parade: Eight Varieties, Pure Indulgence

Eight different cakes are served at the table (with some doubles): cream pies, chocolate cake, Welsh cake, apple pie, jelly and cream desserts, and more—each with unique textures and flavors.

Standouts include the brown sugar-laden Welsh cake, creamy pies, and local apple pie made with apples from the same region.

The hosts attempt to sample everything, relishing the variety and the quality, but admit defeat and ask for takeout containers for leftovers.

😺 Friendly Locals, Furry & Human

The video features plenty of local character: cats, dogs, and genuinely friendly residents who love chatting and sharing the story of their town.

The host remarks on the welcoming, relaxed spirit of Gaiman, where nobody’s in a rush and every interaction feels genuine.

💲 Value & Practical Info

Afternoon tea costs $15 USD per person—an outstanding deal for a multi-hour feast of cakes, breads, sandwiches, tea, and coffee in a stunning garden setting.

Tips: Don’t rush! Plan to spend a leisurely afternoon here; come with an empty stomach and a sweet tooth; take a cab if you’re short on time (or energy) as the teahouse is a bit outside the town center.

🌹 Final Impressions: A Slice of Paradise in Patagonia

Gaiman’s farm visit and royal Welsh tea house experience are the ultimate in slow, soulful travel: local flavors, family-run businesses, and rich cultural tradition.

The hosts encourage anyone visiting Patagonia (or chasing Welsh heritage) to make the extra effort to visit Gaiman and indulge in its sweets, gardens, and warm hospitality.
