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.

Hot July days turn into long warm evenings kissed with bright pink sunsets and salty sea air. it's the perfect time to immerse yourself in the beauty and bounty of the sea. The water is a little bluer, the wine a little crisper and the memories a little more vivid.

We dined at our tucked away table and celebrated one of the longest days of the year. After heaps of delicious shellfish paired with amazing wine, the evening seemed boundless, full of laughter and connection.
