The experienceAn evening in five movements.
From the first glimpse of an invitation to the keepsake that arrives after, here is how a Wild Reverie unfolds.
From invitation to keepsakeIt begins long before you arrive.
Before the nightThe Invitation
Each experience begins weeks ahead, with a digital invitation that offers only a glimpse. In the days that follow, we introduce the collaborators through their own stories — so by the time you arrive, you already know the hands behind the evening.
ArrivalGolden Hour
Step into an immersive reception as the light turns golden. Wander, sip, and meet the farmers, artisans, and musicians whose work fills the space. Then, drawn by the first notes of music, set off into the evening.
The journeyFive movements, five senses.
A single rising arc, from a quiet, private opening to a shared, luminous finale. Each movement is its own setting, course, pour, and performance.
Smell
The night opens with atmosphere rather than a greeting — cool water, cut meadow, woodsmoke. A first plate arrives with fresh herbs to release by hand, so the scent of the season rises from your fingers.
Touch
Met by hand along a living, textured setting: warm bread to tear and share, and a smooth stone, warmed by the fire, carrying a few words of hope for you to keep.
Sound
A single voice rises, and the whole gathering falls still to receive it. This is the heart of the Reverie — not silence for its own sake, but space to notice.
Taste
The one moment the night sits down. At a long harvest table under an open sky, a course is revealed beneath cloches lifted all at once, paired with a wine chosen to lift it. Nothing to do but savor, talk, and stay.
Sight
The finale, indoors and near-dark. Dessert is placed in your hands, dancers enter, and the room is lit only by the small candles guests raise themselves — the audience becoming the glow the performance moves within, until the last beat leaves the room in darkness.
After the final movementThe night stays with you.
ConnectionThe Closing Aperitif
As the final movement closes, conversations carry on over a last pour and new friendships take shape. Many of the evening’s makers offer pieces to take home — a small part of the night to keep.
The journey continuesThe Keepsake
In the days that follow, you’ll receive a curated digital keepsake — collaborators, recipes, playlists, photographs, and stories from the gathering — to relive the evening and keep supporting the people you met.
Good to knowBefore you go.
How long is the evening, and what’s included?
1
About five and a half hours, beginning at golden hour — earlier or later as the season moves. Four small-bite courses and one seated main, each with its own pour, along with the performances and a gift to carry home. Everything is included, from the first glass on arrival to the closing pour, gratuity and Vermont tax as well. There is nothing to settle at the end of the night.
How much walking is involved?
2
Five settings across one property, a few minutes' walk between each and (under half a mile) in total over the evening — garden paths, mown meadow, gravel, and a gentle slope or two. There is seating at every setting, and nothing is timed to make you hurry; paths are marked and lit, though the last movements are dim by design. If distance or uneven ground is difficult for you, tell us when you request an invitation, and we are happy to make accommodations where we can. Exact distances, surfaces, and parking come with your invitation.
Can you accommodate dietary needs?
3
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and common allergies are all straightforward when we know early — note them on your request, and we will build your evening alongside everyone else's, course for course. The menu is composed weeks ahead with the farms and chefs, so the sooner we hear, the better we can do; after two weeks before the gathering, the courses are set. If you have a severe allergy, write to us directly, and we will talk it through honestly — five courses cooked outdoors across five settings is a particular kind of kitchen, and we would rather tell you what we can promise than guess.

What does a seat cost, and how do I get one?
What should I wear, and what if it rains?
4
Dress as you would for a long dinner outdoors — beautiful, and able to cross a meadow. Flat shoes or a low heel will serve you better than a stiletto on soft ground. Vermont evenings turn cold quickly once the sun drops, and the last movements are after dark, so bring a proper layer rather than a light one, even in summer. We gather rain or shine, with (shelter arrangements) if the weather turns, and we write to you a few days ahead once the forecast is worth trusting.
From $350 per guest, with everything above included. Each gathering is priced on its own — the property, the collaborators, and what the season makes possible all move the number. Seats go on sale ahead of the evening, to the guest list first, once invitations open for that gathering.
