Located atop a Vermont hillside surrounded by nature, Esmeralda is Rondeau and Calderón’s country residence where guests come together for shared culinary experiences that merge local and Latin American flavors, sounds and culture.Each month during the Summer and Fall, Esmeralda hosts a weeklong series of events with menus featuring rustic takes on Peruvian classics as well as an all-day feast centered around the pachamanca, the ancient method of cooking in the ground. Dinners are served outdoors on the lawn and patio, as weather permits, or inside the dining room. Guests are encouraged to mingle over pisco sours while jazz plays from the speakers, and take in the stars around the fire pit after the meal.
