SUNY Adirondack, Victory View offer Valentine's special event

QUEENSBURY, New York (Feb. 3, 2026) — Why ask your valentine to settle for just chocolate and flowers when SUNY Adirondack and Victory View Vineyard offer a delicious four-course paired meal to impress?

On Friday, Feb. 13, chefs Matt Bolton and Dynia Mariano and SUNY Adirondack Culinary students present the first Collaborative Cuisine event of the Spring 2026 semester.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a date night, double date or friends night out, with seating starting at 5:30 p.m. for 6 p.m. service.

“We’re excited to be part of someone’s celebration,” Bolton said. “Creating a memorable experience with good company over great food is always our goal, so it’s wonderful for our students to have the opportunity to have a hand in that.”

Dinner for parties of two or more with a sweet surprise at meal’s end are $90 per person; standard service is $80 per person. Tables of two are sold out, but seats are available for larger parties, or for duos interested in sitting at communal tables.
