Viva Hospitality’s signature dinner series, Rooted in Excellence, is a celebration of community, creativity, and the bounty
of the seasons.
A seasonal dinner series by Viva Hospitality, Rooted in Excellence is our heartfelt tribute to community, craftsmanship, and culinary creativity. Hosted twice a year — celebrating both the fall harvest and the renewal of spring — Each seasonal gathering brings together a collaborative team of chefs, farmers & neighbors to create a one-night-only tasting menu inspired by the harvest. Every course is thoughtfully paired with wines selected by our sommeliers, featuring both local treasures and international gems from our cellar.
Community Spirit
Hosted by the teams at Michael’s, Pesca, and La Nouvelle, each dinner features a collaborative, multi-course menu from Viva’s own Michael Lugo, Matthieu Landillon, and Natasha Olivera, alongside special guest chefs. Each course is paired with thoughtful wines and inspired by the bounty of our region.
