Unless the weather is uncharacterically nice, we will be dining inside. This is a community based event, so there will be one large table for all 30 diners.

Each ticket includes a five-courses meal focusing on fresh, highly seasonal and local ingredients, all plant-based.

We are also offering a wine & cocktails pairings "add-on," but will also be offering a la carte cocktails & other beverages (please book your pairing with your ticket, if desired).
