An Evening of Purpose, Flavor, and Community
As the final event in this summer’s Farm to Stable Dinner Series, this special evening supports scholarships for the next generation of chefs studying at the Great Lakes Culinary Institute.
The evening begins with a walk-around tasting featuring passed hors d’oeuvres and curated wine selections—each thoughtfully chosen by Great Lakes Wine & Spirits. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase bottles for the dinner table, with 100% of proceeds supporting the Great Lakes Culinary Institute Scholarship Fund. Guests will then gather for a seated, three-course long-table dinner prepared by GLCI students under the guidance and mentorship of a lineup of acclaimed guest chefs.
Expect seasonal flavors, compelling stories, and a relaxed but elevated setting—set against the backdrop of one of the country’s premier equestrian venues and community.
