Farm to Table Dinner Planned at Filoli

Friends and family will dine al fresco in front of Filoli’s historic House in an intimate, family-style setting. Platters of local, farm-fresh food will be placed on the table and shared among the diners.

Special guest chefs for the evening are: Chef Brendy Monsada from Left Bank, Menlo Park and Chef Kelsey Casavan from LB Steak, Menlo Park. Jim Salyards, Filoli’s Garden Manager and Ursula Gallichotte, beloved Filoli cooking instructor will create a dessert using fruits from Filoli’s heirloom orchards.

Along with dinner, a pairing of wines with each course of the meal will be provided by Wente Vineyards. Located in the Livermore Valley, Wente has been family owned since 1883, producing wines that are estate grown and certified sustainable.

Guests are encouraged to bring an extra layer or wrap to wear. “Farm to Table” is a fundraiser and friend maker for Filoli.
