Flower Farm Adventure Dinner

Flower Farm Adventure Dinner

Sat, AUG 10 | 5:00 PM
Diddle & Zen, Panton, VT

Guests experienced an iconic Vermont flower farm in a brand new (delicious!) way! We light our grills, filling our table with flowers, and serving up a feast infused with tasty botanicals, healthy proteins, and the best of summer veggies. 

Our dinner kicked off with a welcome hour where guests enjoyed their first flower-infused cocktail or mocktail, grabbed their first bite from our chefs in our field kitchen, and had a chance to pick their own bouquet from Diddle & Zen’s sustainable flower gardens. 

Our long table was set outside alongside the flowers, waiting to greet guests at the end of their stroll with a spot to display their bouquet during dinner. We tasted the height of VT summer with multiple courses of fire-kissed dishes, each delightfully inspired by flowers grown steps from your plate. Farm-fresh cocktails and wine were perfectly paired with each course.

We ended our adventure with dessert and digestivo drinks in the garden, and our signature sparkler ceremony.
