Spring Harvest Farm-to-Table Dinner
Saturday, May 22, 2021
hosted by Montesino Ranch, Wimberley, Texas
Join the Taste of Wimberley for a decadent evening and a one-of-a-kind experience at the beautiful Montesino Ranch + Farm in Wimberley, Texas, for an organic and locally-sourced "Farm to Table" Dinner. Gather with old friends and make new in an intimate, candlelit setting under the stars. Watch local Chef Stefani Immel prepare an inspired meal in the Live Oak Kitchen from that morning's farm harvest along with locally-sourced grass fed beef tenderloin and cheeses with a selection of breads baked with locally-milled ancient grains.
Agenda
