SOUTH FLORIDA CELEBRITY CHEFS RETURN FOR
 DINNER IN PARADISE: SEASON 3 - print this page

In an event that has become synonomous with South Florida’s ascending culinary scene, South Florida’s most talented chefs are once again coming together for seven unforgettable Sunday nights of magnificent dining under an expansive, star-lit sky.  Inaugurated December 2005, Dinner in Paradise, a monthly series of charity-driven multi-course dinners served al fresco at Paradise Farms in Homestead, Florida, quickly became one of the most sought after tickets in town.  Now, founders Michael Schwartz of Miami’s hottest restaurant, Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, and Gabriele Marewski of Paradise Farms are once again joining forces to present another amazing Dinner in Paradise series running Sunday, December 2, 2007 - Sunday, April 27, 2008.

“The dinners are a great way to showcase the fresh, organic products that are grown right here in South Florida,” says Marewski, who has also teamed with Whole Foods for the series.

A magical event that celebrates community, Dinner in Paradise provides one of those  only in South Florida experiences.  Set outdoors amid Paradise Farms’ lush five acres of fresh high quality micro and baby greens, avocados, heirloom tomatoes, vegetables, herbs, edibles flowers and tropical fruits, the event offers local gourmets a unique dining experience. According to Marewski,: ”There is something very special about eating great food and drinking fine wines in an out of the way setting; under the stars in the middle of winter.”

Guests enjoy much more than just dinner.  Limited to a maximum of 60 guests, the evening begins at 5:00 p.m. with a cocktail reception; followed by a farm tour. Dinner begins at 6:00 p.m. In accordance with daylight savings, the April dinner events start  one hour later at 6:00 p.m.  Each dinner, priced at $150 per person inclusive, features six courses, made with local, organic products, paired with complementary winesCancellations subject to nonrefundable service fee.
