Bardessono and Area Events

Farmstead Live Fire Dinners immerse you in the best of farm-to-table dining, offering unparalleled opportunities to engage with talented chefs as they craft delicious dishes over the live fire pit. Experience the warmth of community as you gather around our communal table and indulge in family-style courses intentionally paired with organically grown wines. These evenings are more than just dinner; they’re unforgettable culinary journeys that celebrate the freshest ingredients and the artistry of cooking.

Our guest chefs will work alongside Executive Chef Stephen Barber and our entire culinary team to roast, smoke, and sear a farm-to-table family-style feast served right from the flames and thoughtfully paired with Long Meadow Ranch wines.
