Dinner on the Delta: A Four-County Slow Food Feast Celebrating the Bounty from the Heart of California
We are excited to announce a unique gastronomic experience presented by Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and Solano counties’ Slow Food chapters. Well-known chefs from each region will prepare a four-course meal from each county’s seasonal agricultural products. This gathering will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the chefs and farmers and enjoy the ambience of the Delta with friends under old valley oaks on the edge of the Sacramento River.
Food-themed silent and live auctions will raise funds for Slow Food Nation, Labor Day Weekend in San Francisco at Fort Mason and the Civic Center.
Optional field trips will provide a variety of opportunities during the day for behind-the-scenes exploration of our richest farmland, as well as to understand the challenges facing farmers in this complex environment.
WHEN: Saturday May 31, 2008
WHERE: Vino Farms, Clarksburg
Stay Tuned! More details coming soon ….
Dinner and field trips will be by reservation only. Information on reservations will be posted on slowfoodsacramento.com. Sign up for e-mail notification at www.slowfoodsacto@comcast.net.
