This incredible Supper was set against the stunning backdrop of a farm outside of Seattle, where the city's vibrant culinary scene meets the authenticity of farm-to-table dining.

In August, we hosted a long table dinner event that will be etched in our memories forever. What started as a typical balmy summer evening quickly turned into a magical experience as an unexpected rainstorm swept through.

On a rainy afternoon outside of Boulder, CO, our guests arrived at Little Hawk Ranch for a stunning summer Supper featuring Indian cuisine prepared by Chef Biju Thomas. Despite the wet weather, guests were greeted with warm hospitality and the inviting aromas of traditional Indian spices.

Summer is officially here and we don’t know about you, but we’ve been thinking of alfresco dinners for months. We’ve been dreaming up idyllic menus and settings, picnics and ingredients and—yes, you guessed it— wine!

It was lovely to end our regular Supper Series in our home state, in Tillamook, Oregon. We were settled in an open field, on a hydrangea farm at Oregon Coastal Flowers. It was a perfect, peaceful setting within the small valley and the forested hills.

There are many reasons why we love the Pacific Northwest and we feel lucky to call it home. On July 24, we packed our car and hit the road for one of the most beautiful drives, up to Victoria, BC. We stopped midway for a lunch feast at Hama Hama Oyster Co and eventually, we boarded the ferry in Port Angeles. We arrived in Victoria that evening, so energized by the beauty of the area and so ready to host our very first Supper in Canada!

Cordova was truly beyond our dreams! A town of less than 3,000 people, only accessible by plane or ferry, surely presented us with challenges—more than we anticipated—nothing should be taken for granted in a place like Cordova.

Mid last year, we started daydreaming of a Supper in paradise—warm and sunny weather, sky-tall palm trees  and, let’s face it, cocktails on the beach. We started daydreaming of Hawaii. Fast forward to March 20, we boarded an Alaska Airlines flight to Kona, to make our dream a reality. 

We are throwing it back to one of our very first suppers to bring you some of our favorite tips and inspiration for a perfect end of summer outdoor dinner party, pulled pork recipe included! Grab an Aperol Spritz, get ready to dive into the details with us!

In the late weeks of summer, we basked in the sunset and the abundance of fresh local fruits and vegetables. Tournant created an incredible menu worthy of the summer bounty given to us by the earth.
