Renowned chef Jean‑Georges Vongerichten and Terra CEO David Martin — the visionaries behind Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences — hosted an intimate seated dinner during the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, along with Haute Wine Society and IWA. Jean-Georges' thoughtfully curated menu offered guests an exclusive preview of what life will taste like inside the residential project and its forthcoming restaurant, abc kitchens. Richard Geoffroy, IWA Sake founder and former head winemaker at Dom Perignon, worked closely with Jean-Georges to curate the beverage selection and pair Dom Champagne & IWA Sake with each course.

Other guests at the table included Argentine polo star Nacho Figueras, chef and restaurateur Mario Carbone, fashion designer Naeem Khan, THE WELL Founder Kane Sarhan, The Beauty Sandwich creator Iván Pol, and Douglas Elliman CEO Michael Leibowitz, among many others.

Jean-Georges prepared an array of hors d’oeuvres, including his signature Egg Toast topped with JG Select Caviar by Petrossian, Spiced Chicken Samosas with Yogurt-Cilantro Dip, and Shrimp Satay with Sweet-and-Sour Sauce. The three-course dinner featured dishes like Tuna Tartare, Black Truffle & Fontina Pizza, Florida Stone Crab, Seared Scallops, Arroz con Pollo, and Grilled Akaushi Striploin, among many other seasonal specialties.

Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences marks the Michelin-starred chef’s first residential venture, translating his culinary philosophy into an unparalleled lifestyle where taste is everything. Its future residents will enjoy thoughtfully designed amenities, signature dining experiences by Jean-Georges, hospitality-driven services, and wellness offerings by THE WELL — all curated to support a life well lived.
