Local Event
Come celebrate some of the best sights and flavors that the Shenandoah Valley has to offer.
The evening will start with a tour of Harmony Harvest Farm, where you will get to see the ins and outs of this scenic Shenandoah Valley cut flower farm. This isn’t just any tour—it’s a chance to see where the blooms on your table were grown and to pick a few for yourself. Harmony Harvest will chat about how they care for their flowers, share some of their favorite tips, and, of course, you’ll get to make a bouquet to take home.
Afterwards, gather around the table for a delightful five course meal, curated and prepared by Chef Aaron Gardner. Each course will be paired with an estate wine from Ox-Eye Vineyards.
Aaron Gardner is a private chef dedicated to a "farm to table" philosophy, where every dish tells the story of the season and the land. With a deep connection to the valley’s rich agricultural heritage, his seasonal menus pay tribute to the hardworking local farms and artisans who provide the freshest ingredients. Aaron’s pop-up dinners are more than just meals—they are thoughtfully curated five-course experiences that take guests on a culinary journey through the flavors of the region, each course perfectly paired with wines from the renowned Ox-Eye Vineyards.
Ox-Eye Vineyards, known for its exceptional wines crafted from grapes grown in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, plays a pivotal role in this dinner. Their wines are carefully selected to complement the seasonal ingredients, enhancing the natural flavors of each dish and providing a seamless connection between food and wine. This collaboration ensures that every bite and sip is a celebration of the valley’s rich terroir.
This evening is all about celebrating local—local flowers, a local chef, and a local winery, all coming together to create something truly special. You’ll walk away with more than just a beautiful bouquet; you’ll have a deeper connection to the farm, the flowers, and the community that makes it all happen.
So, throw on some comfy shoes, and get ready for a laid-back, unforgettable experience!
