You should use an object wide validation (validate()), since validate_date will never be called since date is not a field on the serializer. From the documentation:

class MySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    def validate(self, data):
        """
        Check that the start is before the stop.
        """
        if data['start_date'] > data['end_date']:
            raise serializers.ValidationError("finish must occur after start")
        return data
