Spend an unforgettable evening in the heart of the Capay Valley, where lavender fields meet the open sky. As the sun sets behind the hills and a nearly full moon rises over the farm, guests will gather for a long-table dinner celebrating the farmers, ranchers and makers of Capay Valley and Yolo County.
Guest chefs Rachel Kasa, formerly of The Rustic BBQ; Lisa Leonard of Wind Dancer Ranch; and Christine White will cook over a live oak fire, creating a menu featuring ingredients from local producers, including Full Belly Farm, Riverdog Farm, Pasture 42, Suntracker Farm and Casa Rosa Farm.
