Deets: The Summer Harvest Chef’s Experience Dinner is a GENERAL ADMISSION dinner – tables will be communal and you will likely be seated with other guests from outside of your party. Masks are not required for dinner attendees.

Oyamel Head Chef Omar Rodriguez invites you to celebrate summer with an exclusive Chef’s Experience Dinner, highlighting the season’s best produce from local farmers. Inspired by the milpa agriculture system used throughout Mesoamerica, maize, beans, and squash are the stars of this five-course menu. As Chef Rodriguez presents each dish, learn the inspiration and origin of each course, from the rich history of Mexican cuisine, to the talented farmers across the region who supplied the ingredients.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Tickets are $75 per guest. In collaboration with the Oyamel Beverage Team, each course will be paired with a craft cocktail and expertly selected agave spirit.
