Private Sommelier-Led Dinner at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens

Dine privately in the moonlit Italian Renaissance gardens of James Deering's 1916 bayfront estate, paired with a five-course Florida tasting menu and a dedicated sommelier. One of the most magical dining settings in the Americas.

What to expect

Arrive by private car to Vizcaya's coral-stone gatehouse and be escorted through garden grottos and moon-lit fountains to a candlelit table set in the courtyard loggia overlooking Biscayne Bay. A private sommelier presents a progression of Florida-sourced wines alongside five courses that interpret the estate's Italian-Caribbean heritage. After dinner, a curator-led lantern tour of the main house reveals private rooms and art collection pieces not shown during daytime visits. The reflection of the estate on the bay as you depart is unforgettable.
