Taste of Place with Preston Farm and Winery

Taste of Place is a unique dining series that explores the terroir, history, traditions, and tastes of our region through the local winemakers, beer brewers, farmers, ranchers, and chefs who inspire us. On Thursday, June 16, gather with us to enjoy the produce, olive oil, bread and wines of Preston of Dry Creek in thoughtfully created dishes from Chef Perry Hoffman, representing a unique collaboration between farmer, winemaker, and chef.

In their nearly 40 years of farming in Dry Creek Valley, Lou and Susan Preston have built an organic and biodynamic farm complete with native oaks, conifers passive grazing fields, vegetables, grapes, grains, livestock, fruit, nut, and olive trees. More than that, they have been important players in Healdsburg’s agricultural community. This dinner will showcase the diversity of their farm and their commitment to sustainable agriculture.

Each Taste of Place dinner is designed to awaken the palate—and stimulate the brain—in a new way. By upending the usual winemaker’s dinner setting through the introduction of interviews, conversations, and unique additional sensory experiences, we aim to entice and provoke while creating fond memories of sharing the table together.
