Monterey, California is a charming seaside community about 120 miles south of San Francisco. Numerous boutique stores, hotels, and restaurants along the waterfront in Cannery Row and Fisherman’s Wharf make downtown Monterey perfect for a dreamy weekend stroll!

Amidst live guitar, chatter, and laughter the evening came to a close. Although this Supper definitely came with some logistical challenges, the perfect views from Tularcitos Ridge and the feeling of seclusion were definitely worth it. We loved every moment of our return to California; we will never tire of reveling in its bounty and admiring its beauty!

Santa Fe was the fourth stop on the Secret Supper-Roca Patrón Series, and it was beyond memorable! Halfway through the series, we set foot on one of the most magical landscapes we could have ever imagined. A stark contrast from our neck of the woods and the perfect backdrop to a fantastic evening.

In early October we brought our table to a wild, golden field at West Bijou ranch, just outside of Denver. Taking our guests to the Savory Institute’s holistically-managed ranch and learning site was an amazing experience, and an incredible way to celebrate our partnership with them as the non-profit benefitted through the Secret Supper-Roca Patrón Series. 

The Motor City welcomed us with open arms, and we had the most incredible time creating a unique experience for fifty guests who joined us from near and far. An experience that celebrated community and craftsmanship at Woods Cathedral, a building that after seeing some rough times, was filled with joy and laughter through the memories shared at the table.

Last summer, Meghan reached out to us to learn more about our Table Culture project. A few weeks later, we were spending some time with her, her husband Matt, and their adorable dog, Ausley. The three of them live in a beautiful, light filled studio in NE Portland, just above one of our favorite coffee shops in town!

We spent the whole summer daydreaming and planning until finally, in early September, we boarded a plane to the East Coast for our very first Supper in Maine. Our team of four landed on the other side of the country, full of excitement to press start on a Series that’d been months in the making!

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.

Stacy and her husband Aaron fell for Alaska a while ago. They settled in Anchorage, where they built their dream home a few years back. The Browns are a family of eight, only their three youngest—E, E, and C, still get to enjoy home in the Last Frontier, as the oldest kids have departed to pursue degrees and careers elsewhere in the country.

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!
