One special annual event during Family Weekend is the Airlie Farm to Table Dinner.
Hosted by Airlie Berkshire Farm and AU Kitchen, the dinner will feature fresh produce and meat grown on AU’s Airlie Berkshire Farm and an opportunity to meet our Celebrity Chef.
American University was entrusted with the stewardship of Airlie in 2016. Tucked away on more than 300 stunning acres of rolling Northern Virginia hills and farmland, Airlie is a treasure of innovation and sustainability; a working farm, boutique hotel and event venue.
