FOODIE'S NIGHT OUT: HOLIDAY APPETIZERS
Friday, November 13th, 6 pm - 9 pm
The best holiday parties have a few things in common: great company, something festive in your glass, and those irresistible little bites that keep everyone coming back for just one more. And the best part? The host actually gets to enjoy the party!
Join us for a festive evening on the farm as we celebrate the art of holiday entertaining with an inspired collection of beautiful, delicious appetizers. We'll share the secrets to creating impressive little bites, balancing bold flavors, and adding those special finishing touches that make party food feel extraordinary. Along the way, we'll explore clever make-ahead strategies, easy entertaining shortcuts, and a few chef techniques that will have you feeling like a pro at your next gathering.
This evening is part cooking class, part holiday celebration! You're welcome to grab an apron and join the chefs in the kitchen, or simply sip something bubbly, enjoy the delicious food, and gather a little inspiration for your own holiday festivities.
So bring a friend (or three!), leave the cooking and cleanup to us, and get ready for an evening of good food, great company, and a little holiday cheer.
