About this Event
🇷🇴 What if, for one afternoon, you could escape to Transylvania 🇷🇴 … without leaving Virginia?
Join us at La Farmette for an intimate afternoon of food, tradition and hands-on cooking, inspired by the villages and family tables of Transylvania, the land of Dracula.
🥖 A Transylvanian Welcome
A warm, rustic gathering inspired by traditional Transylvanian hospitality, featuring a generous spread of zacuscă, salată de vinete, cașcaval, traditional cured and smoked meats, rustic bread, and traditional pickles.
🥬 Make Sarmale
Learn the tradition behind Romania's beloved stuffed cabbage rolls, then fill, roll and tuck your own sarmale by hand.
🍽️ Enjoy your Creation
Sit down to enjoy the slow-cooked sarmale, with mămăligă, smântână and traditional accompaniments.
🏰 Stories from Transylvania
Along the way, discover the region's traditions, folklore—and the story behind its most famous legend, Dracula.
🍰 Something Sweet
Finish the afternoon with a traditional Romanian dessert and a traditional after-dinner digestif around the table.
More than a cooking class, it's a little journey to Transylvania—right here in the Virginia countryside.
