About

Join Monticello in bringing culinary history forward and experience a dynamic event series, Culinary Diplomacy at Monticello. In partnership with The Culinary Diplomacy Project, we'll explore the intersection of history, food, and diplomacy, delving into how food has been-and continues to be-a bridge for better cultural understanding and communication.

For one night only, experience an unforgettable evening of dinner and discussion at Montalto with renowned chef Aarti Sequeira. Indulge in a meticulously crafted three-course meal including Monticello-grown ingredients, and learn more about food as a vehicle for diplomacy. This intimate dining experience offers a rare opportunity to savor history through food, all while enjoying breathtaking views from Jefferson’s high mountain. Limited seating is available.

VIP Ticket Option: This small-group experience will begin at 5:30pm and includes a pre-reception with the chef, as well as a signed copy of Dining at Monticello.
