Join us for the 101st dinner of the Summer Supper Somm Series, hosted at Oakley Farm on August 2, 2025 in collaboration with chef Aaron Gardner of the Gardner’s Harvest. The evening will involve a multi-course dinner featuring heirloom tomatoes from Village Garden Farm in Hanover, VA, with cider & wine pairings by Troddenvale.
SummerSupperSomm, the acclaimed experiential dinner series, returns for the fifth year with its most ambitious season yet--22 unique heirloom tomato and Virginia Wine dinner celebrations--spanning from the Lowcountry of South Carolina to the mountains of Southwest Virginia. Hosted at leading restaurants and Virginia wineries from June 30 through August 25, the series celebrates local food, spirits and community with collaborative multi-course dinner experiences that offer sustenance for body, mind and soul. Between courses, diners will hear interesting stories on heirloom history and botanical trivia (with prizes!) interwoven with tasting notes on lush local wines and tomato-inspired dishes.
