Argentinian-Style Fireside Farm Dinner with Chef Valentina Garcia Montano

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Chef Valentina Garcia Montaño, Executive Chef at the Saturn Club and founder of Che García Chimichurri, as she brings the spirit of the Argentinian asado to the open fire at Crown Hill Farm.

Born in Houston and raised in Argentina, Valentina’s culinary roots run deep. Her earliest food memories are of her grandmother, La Abu, who taught her that food is more than sustenance — it’s ritual, connection, and love. That philosophy continues to guide her cooking today: soulful, elemental, and grounded in tradition .

From crafting her signature chimichurri to leading some of Buffalo’s most respected kitchens, Valentina’s journey is one of passion, resilience, and joy. Her dishes reflect the warmth of her upbringing and the bold flavors of her heritage.

This multi-course menu cooked over open flame pays homage to the Argentinian spirit of community while highlighting the summer bounty of Crown Hill Farm.  Expect rustic elegance, vibrant flavors, and the rare opportunity to connect directly with the chef as she shares the stories behind each course.

About the Farm-to-Table Experience at Crown Hill Farm

Each farm-to-table dinner at Crown Hill Farm is more than a meal — it’s a journey through the land and its seasons. You’ll begin with a guided tour of the farm, meeting the animals, walking through the gardens, and hearing the stories behind the ingredients that will soon be on your plate.

Then, sit at our signature long table, set with vintage dishware and seasonal blooms, as each course is introduced by the chef, offering a rare, intimate connection to the food and the person who crafted it. With live music, thoughtfully paired wines, and the beauty of the farm as your backdrop, this is an evening to savor, celebrate, and connect.

Gather around the fire, share in the tradition, and experience a meal that nourishes both body and soul.
