Golden Age of Aviation Dinner Party: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Culinary Adventure
Prepare for an unforgettable evening where world-class cuisine meets aviation history!
Eight lucky guests will embark on an extraordinary dining experience at the New England Air Museum, featuring a six-course dinner crafted by none other than our chef-in-residence, Jeffrey Daigneau, owner of Lattitude Restaurant in West Springfield.
Your evening begins with sparkling wine and elegant appetizers served aboard the only surviving VS-44 flying boat in the world. This aircraft is a breathtaking piece of aviation heritage, originally used for priority passengers flying from New York to Ireland. Later, it was owned by actress Maureen O'Hara.
From there, you'll savor four exquisite courses prepared by Chef Daigneau, each perfectly paired with hand-selected wines and craft cocktails from his private collection.
As the night winds down, dessert will be served in our fully restored DC-3, where history, atmosphere, and culinary artistry come together in perfect harmony. This iconic aircraft revolutionized commercial aviation, and our plane was fully restored by the museum's restoration crew to resemble the first commercial flight out of Bradley Airfield.
This is more than a dinner -- it's an exclusive journey through time and taste, blending the romance of vintage aviation with the mastery of one of New England's most celebrated chefs.
