Chef Norman Van Aken leads a hands-on culinary master class paired with wines from a featured winery during an evening of dining and philanthropy at the InterContinental Miami. Taking place Friday, April 17, the VeritageMiami Interactive Dinner brings together food enthusiasts, community leaders and supporters of United Way Miami for an immersive cooking and dining experience.

A pioneer of New World cuisine, Van Aken guides guests through the preparation of signature dishes while sharing techniques and insights behind his cooking. Each course is paired with selections from a premier winery, offering a coordinated tasting experience throughout the evening. A reception begins at 6:30 p.m., followed by the interactive dinner and auction at 7:30 p.m.

The event also features a live auction open exclusively to attendees, offering opportunities to bid on culinary experiences, rare wines and spirits, travel opportunities, fashion items and other specialty offerings. All guests must be 21 or older to attend.

Part of the annual VeritageMiami series, the evening supports United Way Miami and its work advancing early education, strengthening economic mobility, promoting health and wellbeing and supporting resilient communities across Miami-Dade County.
