FEB 14 @ 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM
It’s a special Valentine’s Day dinner date in Vizcaya Village – the not-yet-open half of the Vizcaya estate! Once home to the estate’s farm and functional buildings (historic Garage, laundry and staff housing), we’re opening the Village for a rare, behind-the-scenes exploration made all the more delicious by Chef Aaron Dreilinger of Chef David Cuisine. The evening starts at 6:30 p.m. with wine and butler-passed savories on the Superintendent’s Lawn, followed by a short walk to the Superintendent’s House where Chef Aaron will demonstrate the first course of our meal, hand-made tortellini with ricotta saltada.
From there, we will travel to the Staff Residence for a demonstration of our two entree choices: guava-glazed salmon or tamarind & espresso-rubbed beef short rib. We end the tour in the Farm Quad, witha demonstration of dessert, strawberry bread pudding, and seated dinner (finally!).
Dig into Vizcaya’s agricultural roots, connect with Miami’s culinary scene and fall in love with Vizcaya Village – all in one sumptuous night. Cocktails and wine are included in the ticket price and IDs, showing birth date, must be presented upon arrival. Those without ID will not be admitted. This program takes place in the Vizcaya Village, across the street from the Main House and Gardens.
