A full day of fairs and gallery visits deserves an evening with time to talk. A private dinner during Art Basel Miami Beach gives your group one table, a menu planned around your preferences and an evening at your home or vacation rental.
Art Basel Miami Beach lists its 2026 public dates as December 4–6. Confirm admission and visiting details through Art Basel’s official visitor information. Your dinner can fall on a fair day or another evening during your Miami stay.
Build the evening around the conversation
Decide whether you want a relaxed dinner with friends, a hosted meal for business guests or a quiet evening with family. Those occasions need different pacing. Tell Collin if everyone will sit down together, if guests may arrive in stages or if a conversation or presentation needs uninterrupted time.
For a group sharing a villa, a private dinner or lunch can become the point in the trip when everyone reconnects. If evening plans are crowded, ask about lunch instead of forcing another commitment into the night.
Choose a dining time you can actually keep
Work backward from your last planned stop, allowing for the journey home and time to change. The fair closing time is not your arrival time at the table. Share a realistic window with Collin before settling the menu and service schedule.
Identify the last venue your group plans to visit.
Choose who will give the chef access while guests are out.
Agree when everyone needs to be seated and whether there is a later engagement.
Confirm how you will communicate a delay on the day.
Check the villa before choosing the menu
For a vacation-rental dinner, confirm the host permits outside chefs and your intended guest count. Send practical kitchen information: cooking equipment, refrigerator space, available work surfaces and where guests will eat. A beautiful rental photograph does not establish that the kitchen or table suits your gathering.
Collin’s practical reminder is to count matching plates, silverware, glasses and napkins. Include every course when checking quantities. Tell him what is available and discuss any items that need arranging before service is agreed.
Set the menu and budget together
Use the sample menus to start a conversation about flavors and pacing. Share allergies and dietary requirements directly, along with whether guests will have eaten earlier. A menu for an early client lunch may differ from a leisurely evening dinner.
Confirmed private-dinner pricing is $150–$250 per person, with groceries included and no minimum order. Your actual menu and service scope are agreed in a tailored quote; confirm extras such as rentals or additional service separately. See the pricing page for the current overview.
Send one clear Art Week dinner brief
Include the date, neighborhood, guest count, meal time, occasion and budget range. You do not need to share private client identities to explain the atmosphere you want.
Ask Collin about your Art Week dinner. Availability and the final arrangement are confirmed directly. Chef Collin’s private dining service is independent of Art Basel; tickets and official event access are arranged separately.
