Whitty Farms

Corazon del Sol at The Vines of Mendoza

We are very pleased to bring our table to Mendoza and Corazon Del Sol. Argentina has a reputation for fine wine, exceptional beef and an extraordinary outdoor cooking tradition. With our dinner at Corazon del Sol we will experience and recognize all three.

Sayulita Sea Cove

We’re going to Mexico! Come with us to a secret beach, off the beaten path, where we will set the table near the calm, lapping waves. Chef Calixto Gattás will prepare a feast of local seafood from our guest fisherman (including oysters fresh off the boat!), and beautiful produce from the region. We will also feature local tequila and wine!

Little Creek Gardens

Located on scenic Lake Okanagan in British Columbia, farmers Dale Ziech and Donna Denison of Little Creek Gardens will be our hosts. Guest chefs Dana Ewart and Cameron Smith will have a wealth of local products to choose from. We will have bread baked from organic Canadian wheat. The Carmelis family will bring their awesome goat cheeses and goat milk gelato. Wines from and nearby Cedar Creek Estate Winery will round out the menu. Join us at the table for what is certain to be a memorable meal.

Pearl Morissette

It’s been a few years since we set the long table in lovely Ontario, and what better venue to host our return than a stunning winery and farm just 20 minutes from Niagara Falls. The farm grows grapes, raises animals and grows vegetables. And has a hugely majestic and very old chestnut tree; perhaps we’ll put the table under it. Our guest chef is Ariel Coplan from Toronto’s Thoroughbred. Ariel has cooked and traveled all over the world. We’re excited to see what he creates in the field, and taste the wines that pair perfectly with his dishes.

Victoria Potato Farm

Potatoes are beautiful. It has probably been said by someone at some time. Maybe that’s why Mr. Potato Head has such a following. The real beauty of potatoes is the potato field, and especially a potato field on a forested island with a view of the water. Then there is the famous beauty of the potato flower and the story of how Sir Walter Raleigh brought potatoes to Queen Elizabeth’s table from the New World. Chef Emily Wells has lived in England, Germany, Sweden, and now Canada. All have a hearty culinary relationship with potatoes. Chef Emily will source from land and sea.

Glorious Organics at Fraser Common

For a number of years our Outstanding in the Field tour has visited University of British Columbia Farm located within the city of Vancouver. After several events UBC Farm director Mark Bomford and the Outstanding in the Field crew at have become good friends. This year we thought we would mix it up and check out a farm in the Fraser Valley just outside the city. Glorious Organics in Aldergrove has a CSA program and also supplies produce to area restaurants including West, whose very talented chef, David Gunawan will join us in the field.

Emiliana Organic Vineyards

Farmer Bill Denevan (brother of OITF founder Jim Denevan and one of Jim’s inspirations to start Outstanding in the Field) has spent part of every year here over the past two decades in his work with developing organic agriculture in Chile. In these years of preparing the soil, lasting friendships have grown around tables shared and wine poured. We’ll start with a visit to one of the original apple orchards Bill worked with. We’ll then travel a short distance to set the table with Bill’s friends at Emiliana Organic Vineyards. The table in the vines will be set in celebration of accomplishments in the field.

Fujisan Winery

OITF Founder, Jim and Director of Public Events, Anna were brought to tears by our event at Fujisan Winery last September. Between the epic view of one of the world’s most iconic mountains, the heartfelt speech by winery owner Ernie Singer, and the incredible meal cooked by chef John in collaboration with Japanese master chefs from the region, this was one of our most memorable events to date. So we’re doing it again! Local wine and sake. Mushrooms foraged from the foothills of Mount Fuji. The freshest seafood we’ve ever tasted. Most of all, guests coming together from near and far to celebrate Japan and the magic of the mountain.

Outstanding in The Field の創立者であるジムとイベントディレクターのアナは、去年9月に富士山ワイナリーで開催されたイベントで流した涙を忘れません。世界が誇る山の雄大な景色、ワイナリーのオーナー、シンガー氏の温かなスピーチ、シェフのジョンが地元シェフとのコラボレーションで創り出した素晴らしい料理。これらすべてが融合し、これまでで最も印象深いイベントになり、今年の再開催の決め手となりました。地元のワインと日本酒、富士山の麓で穫れるキノコ、新鮮な海の幸。そして何よりも、日本の山の神秘を一緒に祝うために、国内外から集まっていただく参加者の皆さまのプレゼンス。今年も富士山にて、お待ちしています。

La Petraia

Late September will take you to Chianti, Italy – and for good reason. No wine that is bottled and exported from that much-acclaimed region could ever taste as good as when it is opened and aired amongst the hills of Tuscany. Internationally renowned master butcher Dario Cecchini of Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Panzano in Chianti and chef Susan McKenna Grant of the host farm for the evening, La Petraia, are sure to do the place – and your palate – justice.
