Mistletoe & Martinis

Cocktails, culture and holiday glamour converge in a night of steampunk-inspired celebration at one of Miami’s most enchanting historic landmarks.

Mistletoe & Martinis: Steam, Sparkle & Spirits takes place on Friday, December 12 at the Deering Estate, marking the 8th annual edition of the Foundation’s signature holiday soirée. Guests are invited to sip specialty martinis, savor gourmet hors d’oeuvres and desserts from top local restaurants, and enjoy live music and entertainment throughout the beautifully illuminated grounds.

This year’s theme adds a touch of Victorian intrigue to the festivities, inviting guests to dress in corsets, cravats and clockwork attire for an evening where gears glisten and cocktails sparkle. As part of the estate’s Historic Holiday Décor series, visitors can explore the Richmond Cottage, decked in décor inspired by the Golden Age of Travel—a tribute to Charles Deering’s journeys and adventures around the world.

Tickets are $175 for members and $200 for non-members, with table packages available. Set against the backdrop of Biscayne Bay, this elegant holiday gathering blends art, imagination, and timeless festive spirit in true Deering Estate style.
