Ticketed Dinners at Violet Hill Farm
Our ticketed dinners are designed to be intimate, thoughtful, and memorable. Hosted on our farm and prepared by Michelin-trained chefs, each experience includes:

  • A multi-course chef-curated menu - typically 4-5 courses

  • BYOB (non-alcoholic drinks provided)

  • There is no telling where we will set the table next but no matter what, it will be an unforgettable evening at the Farm

  • Typically held on Friday’s and Saturday’s

To ensure exceptional food and service that reflects our mission of intentional, high-quality hospitality, our dinners accommodate ~60 guests.

Costs vary based on menu and ingredients.
