Visited the Museum, Did the House Tour and finished with Lunch in the Tea Room. 10/10
Museum was Great, Food Was Great. House Tour Guide Yancey took our Tour to another level in our experience.
Recommend this Plantation 100% - Make Sure for Full Experience you ask for Yancey as the House Tour Guide. You will Not Regret it.
I was anxious to visit and by doing so support a plantation for obvious reasons, however the first thing out of our guide’s mouth was condemning the horror of slavery and the injustice of currently whitewashing southern history.

What a gem of a place. Great to take out of town guests. The tea house is superb! I’ve had both the sampler plate in the meal menu and the full high tea. We came during a weekend when the historical reenactors were there and spent quite a while chatting with them. We have done the house tour and have the Gullah tour on our list for next time. Great, great place.

Hopsewee Plantation is a historic site and restaurant that offers tours of the plantation home and a charming tea room. Visitors praise the lunch menu for its excellent taste and presentation, with many enjoying the delicious food. The tea room was busy and looked delightful, featuring expansive views of the grounds, creating a lovely setting for a relaxing meal or a nice picnic. The tours are highly recommended, especially when led by knowledgeable guides like Yancey, who enhance the experience with their storytelling. It is the most honest plantation tour, sharing the legacy of survival and business for South Carolina, with a focus on the slavery history with rice cultivation. The museum component had well-done displays and the plantation house was nicely decorated. This could easily be a self-guided tour with a docent available to answer questions. The combination of history, scenic views, and tasty meals makes it a popular destination.
