The first course, tray-passed hors d'oeuvres with warmed Caribbean Sangria, will be served outdoors, allowing for tours of the garden. Due to the possibility of inclement weather, we will likely serve the second through fifth courses indoors. Dress is semi-formal. Please bring ample clothing for changing weather conditions.

Those with special dietary needs will be accommodated, please contact us by November 18 to make arrangements.

The menu is subject to local availability. Small substitions may be made if necessary.
