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.
