A Midsummer Celebration in Wine Country: Where Culinary Legends Came Together for a Cause

When The Trotter Project envisioned a midsummer gathering in the heart of Oregon wine country, they didn’t want just another dinner, they wanted an experience. One that brought people together around purpose, place, and truly extraordinary food.

SavorWe partnered with The Trotter Project to bring that vision to life, curating a once-in-a-lifetime evening that united Michelin-starred and Food Network chefs for a multi-course culinary journey. Set against the serene backdrop of lush vineyards, the event became a celebration of talent, seasonality, and shared impact.

The Culinary Lineup:
Guests were treated to signature dishes by an elite lineup of chefs, including Maneet Chauhan, Bruce Kalman, Richie Farina, Donald Young, and D’Andre Carter. Each chef crafted original courses inspired by the season—highlighting local ingredients and their own distinct culinary storytelling. From creative passed apps to elegant plated presentations, the event was a testament to what happens when great food meets meaningful purpose.

Paired to Perfection:
The evening’s menu was expertly paired with wines from Brooks Wine, adding another layer of depth and discovery to the experience.

“The Midsummer Celebration was a truly magical evening. From the talent of the chefs to the picturesque setting, it was an unforgettable way to support a meaningful cause.”
