Under the Walnuts
Under the Walnuts is a culinary experiment removing the 4 walls and ceiling from a restaurant, giving PNW chefs an opportunity to use the freshest ingredients harvested from our field, cook over open fire and create a evening for an intimate group of diners unlike any other. 2019 includes a fantastic line-up of chefs; some first time, some returning, a new wine partnership with Indie Wineries and an even more thoughtful guest experience.
Tickets for 2019 dinners are live!
There are two ticket options this season. Purchase a single ticket to a meal or purchase a Farmer’s Dozen and distribute your seats throughout the season as you wish. All tickets include dinner, drinks and fantastic evening’s experience.
Single Tickets: $145
Farmer’s Dozen: $1,480
Includes 12 tickets to be used as you wish throughout the season.
All tickets are subject to Service Charge + Tax.
We look forward to sharing a meal with you soon.
