Equinox & Solstice

Dinner Series

Celebrate the Seasons With Us

Four times a year, on the solstice and equinox, we gather to mark the changing of the season and the light with a special dinner.

Each evening begins (weather permitting) with a welcome drink and a guided walk through the Coriander Farm before guests return to the restaurant for a multi-course dinner built around that moment in the year.

These dinners offer a rare opportunity to experience the farm as it moves through its full cycle — from early spring soil to summer growth, fall abundance and winter rest.
