Fields to Fork: A Farm to Table Dining Experience
Wednesday, August 28, 2024
Seventy guests enjoyed a sold-out, summer evening of culinary art, small-batch wine and farming bounty.
The Bedner’s team harvested fresh produce and herbs from our fields. Then Chef Jimme Warcholak and his team from Bella Sera used them to create a delicious meal that was beautifully presented.
Each of Chef Jimme’s four courses was paired with a hand-crafted wine from our own collection. Passiflora Springs winemaker Russ Bedner introduced each wine, sharing the behind-the-scenes craftsmanship that goes into each small batch.
Tables were beautifully decorated by our own team with floral centerpieces cut fresh from the flower fields. And the soundtrack for the evening was provided by talented local guitarist, Dan Baker.
It was a lovely night spent in the company of old and new friends alike. We hope you’ll join us for the next Fields to Fork dinner experience in 2025. Sign up for Bedner emails and follow us on FB or Instagram to be the first to know.
