If you thought summer in Jackson Hole couldn’t get any hotter, think again: things will be heating up this August at The Virginian Lodge during an event that blends the rustic charm of backcountry cooking, with the comforting vibes of a neighborhood barbecue. On Wednesday, Aug. 14, the scenic Courtyard at The Virginian Lodge will host the inaugural Fire + Vine dinner experience. This one-of-a-kind backyard bash promises to be an evening of culinary exploration and delightful camaraderie, featuring chefs Sarah Glover and Eric Navratil.
What to Expect
At the heart of Fire + Vine is the art of open-fire cooking. Chef Sarah Glover, a nature-inspired chef celebrated for her innovative approach to outdoor cooking, will join forces with The Virginian’s own Chef Eric Navratil. Together, they will create a four-course feast that celebrates the bounty of summer with locally sourced ingredients.
Imagine savoring the rich flavors of whole pickin’ pigs and Dutch ovens brimming with seasonal vegetables, all cooked over an open flame. Each course will be expertly paired with wines that enhance the flavors of the dishes, providing a perfect balance to the smoky, charred goodness from the fire.
Added Ambiance
Adding to the ambiance, Joe Hunt will serenade guests with sweet melodies, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This event is more than just a dinner; it’s a community gathering where friends, old and new, come together to celebrate good food, good wine, and good company.
