Description
Saturday, February 13, 2016, with seatings at 6:00 and 8:00 PM
Share a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner where Hollywood stars and European royalty dined with members of one of America’s most famous families. You are invited to dine at a spectacular, historic American estate that is also one of the most glamorous and romantic settings on Long Island — the elegant, early twentieth-century mansion of William K. Vanderbilt II, on 43 acres overlooking Northport Bay.
The evening is a special opportunity to enjoy an intimate dining experience with a spo
use, partner or special friend, and to celebrate in Gold Coast style.
Seating at this exclusive event is limited and sells out quickly. Tickets are $100 per person, $90 for Museum members.

The evening begins with hors d’oeuvres, wine and beer in the Memorial Wing of the mansion, amid Mr. Vanderbilt’s exotic collections of cultural artifacts from Africa, Asia and the South Pacific. After a brief tour through the Vanderbilts’ private living quarters in the mansion, guests will be seated for a leisurely dinner in the Northport Dining Room Porch, overlooking the water. Dessert follows in the Lancaster Room, with a side trip to the Vanderbilt Library and the Moroccan Court.
William K. Vanderbilt II’s estate and mansion are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
