WHAT TO EXPECT AT A STORY FEAST GATHERING

  • EXTRAORDINARY HISTORIC VENUES

    We gather in places most people never get to experience: monasteries, castles, historic estates, art museums, hidden spaces. Each venue is chosen for its beauty, its history, and the stories it holds.

  • EXCLUSIVE BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOURS

    Before your dinner, you'll have the opportunity to explore the location with expert-led tours. We believe understanding a place makes the meal itself more meaningful.

  • ARTISAN COCKTAIL HOUR

    The cocktail hour is designed as a transition, a chance to shake off the outside world, settle into the space, and begin the evening together. After the tours conclude, guests come together in a beautiful setting within the venue to connect over drinks and small bites before the meal begins.

  • MULTI-COURSE CHEF-CRAFTED MEAL

    Dinner is served family style at long, candlelit tables. The menu is crafted by celebrated local chefs using seasonal, regional ingredients, often sourced from the venue itself or nearby producers. Dishes are designed to be shared, passed, and savored together.

    Expect multiple courses, handcrafted ceramics, and food so good you’ll dream about it later.

  • LOCAL CRAFT BEVERAGE PAIRINGS

    We partner with local breweries, cideries, distilleries, and nonalcoholic beverage makers to offer drinks that complement the meal and celebrate the region. At every gathering, nonalcoholic options are given the same care and attention as everything else, because everyone at the table deserves something worth toasting.

  • STORYTELLING, NOT SPEECHES

    Throughout the evening, you'll hear from the people who made it possible: the chefs, the venue hosts, the producers, the artisans. These aren't formal presentations, they're easy stories, shared naturally as the meal unfolds. You'll learn where your food came from and who grew it, who made the ceramics you're eating from, and why this place matters.

  • A GOODY BAG WORTH KEEPING

    Every guest leaves with a goody bag filled with high-quality items to eat, drink, and enjoy long after the gathering. No junk, no promotional flyers, just high quality products from the partners who made the evening possible.

  • A SENSE OF PLACE

    Above all, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of where you've been. The architecture, the land, the people, the traditions, all woven together through food, beverages and storytelling. That's what makes a Story Feast gathering different from any other dinner you've attended.

  • MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS

    Story Feast gatherings are designed to bring people together. Long communal tables. Family-style service. Conversation that flows naturally. You'll sit beside strangers and leave with new friends.
