Join us for a joyful harvest celebration where the bounty of the farm meets the sparkle of Oregon wine. Hosted by Chef Sarah Schafer of Grounded Table—a restaurant rooted in regenerative sourcing and a deep connection to the land—this lively soirée features eight of the Willamette Valley’s most acclaimed sparkling wine producers, each pouring their finest bubbly.
Savor seasonal, farm-driven canapés, small bites, and desserts crafted to honor the farms, fields, and harvesters behind every bite. Held at Stillwater, The Ground’s newly renovated historic venue in downtown McMinnville, the evening will be filled with live music and the spirit of community.
Part of the Jacques Pépin Foundation’s 90/90 Dinner Series, this event honors Jacques’ 90th birthday and his favorite drink—sparkling wine—while supporting the JPF’s mission to make culinary education accessible to all. Join us November 8th to raise a glass to the 2025 harvest season, the community, and a culinary legend.
