In honor of America's 250th Anniversary and in partnership with Culpeper Tourism, GATHER invites guests to historic Salubria Manor for an evening inspired by Virginia's early table. Provision & Forage is an unforgettable evening inspired by the early American table where Old World provisions met ingredients found in the fields, forests, and waterways of the New World. Gather around a single long table for five thoughtfully prepared courses by Chef Frida Johansson, accompanied by curated beverage pairings and stories from Michael Carter Jr., author of Africulture.
YOUR EVENING INCLUDES:
Reception with bites & welcome beverage
Tour of Salubria Manor and grounds
A candlelit setting designed for connection
5-course seasonal dinner shared at a single table
Wine pairings with Tony Ruffo of Winebow
Curated non-alcoholic beverage pairings
Historical context shared by Michael Carter, Jr.
