Prepare for an extraordinary evening of global flavor, elegance, and high-energy celebration at A Culinary Journey, returning March 12, 2026 to the stunning private club, The Maddox.

This season’s most exciting experience brings together two powerhouse chefs: Maddox Executive Chef Darren Veilleux, - former Executive Chef of Sails Restaurant and Best Chef in Naples, joined Rebecca Maddox in 2023 to open Rebecca’s Wine Bar and The Maddox. Chef Darren will be joined by Guest Chef Kayla Pfeiffer—partner and top chef at Bicyclette Cookshop, celebrated “culinary badass,” Food Network Chopped Champion, and 2025 James Beard Award semi-finalist. Together, they will create a thrilling, internationally-inspired gourmet experience that will transport us around the world, paired with fine wines, craft cocktails, and artful presentation.

Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy live entertainment, immersive culinary moments, and the energy of 250 food lovers, philanthropists, and community visionaries coming together for one spectacular night. The excitement continues with an unforgettable live auction, featuring exclusive luxury getaways and a stunning pair of custom earrings created by renowned Naples jeweler Amanda Jaron.

While the evening dazzles with culinary brilliance and celebration, its heartbeat is its purpose: raising critical support for Path2Freedom -providing safe housing, trauma-informed care, emotional healing, and a pathway to independence for young girls who have escaped human trafficking. Your attendance and generosity becomes part of their journey from survival to hope.

Tickets are on sale now — $500 per person
Or, elevate your experience with one of only six VIP Tables, offering premium assigned seating for your group, VIP check-in, two bottles of champagne at your table, and premium stage-side seating for the program and auction. VIP Tables — $6,000 for 8 people

A Culinary Journey promises to be the most unforgettable, delicious, and meaningful night of the season — an evening you simply cannot miss.
