You won’t want to miss this immersive community dining experience! The food and drinks will be incredible, the views are magnificent, and your participation directly supports our mission of planting kids in nature.

Bring layers! Dinner will be outside on a coastal bluff. Please dress according to the weather and remember to wear comfortable walking shoes, as the garden cocktail hour and dining location are a brief walk from our parking area, on uneven terrain. It will likely be chilly in the evening.

Our guest chef has designed a menu with the freshest, locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, including items from Slide Ranch! The full menu itself will be a surprise. We know you’ll love it.

The evening includes cocktails in the garden followed by a snack at the cob oven. Then, guests will meander to our dining area on the bluff to be greeted by local crudo paired with a farm-focused menu featuring produce at their peak ripeness.

The meal is an extended, multi-course experience with wine pairings, finishing with sweets and digestifs by the open fire. NA options available.

We’ll wrap up at around 9:00pm.

Words from Chef Will:

“I was trained as a cook, farmer, & scientist in Berkeley, California.

While I studied molecular and environmental biology at UC Berkeley, I started researching regenerative agriculture and fell in love with soil science.

Each night, I’d bring home produce and meats from the farms & ranches I worked with, and I’d cook dinner with my cooperative house of 20 people.

These dinners still hold a big place in my heart, and they showed me how the values of sustainable agriculture are deeply intertwined with the values of sharing food and building community.

My mission has always been to prepare foods in a way that honors the farmers & ranchers who carefully grew them.

With this goal in mind, I began cooking as an intern at Chez Panisse. My mind was completely blown by the power of delicious food, sustainable agriculture, and intentional eating. Building community around the dinner table is magic. “ Learn more
