Guests gathered around a live fire in a garden at night

Gathered seasonally

A culinary
social gathering.

Food, fire, drinks, music, and good people around one table.

The idea

Some dinners are better when nobody is trying to leave.

Somara is a seasonal gathering built around ambitious food, generous drinks, music, and the pleasure of spending an evening with people you may not have met otherwise.

The table is shared, the food keeps coming, and the night is allowed to find its own rhythm.

Come hungry.
Stay awhile.

What makes the night

People.
Food.
The evening.

01

People

Friends, strangers, cooks, growers, artists, neighbors—and whoever makes the table more interesting.

02

Food

Seasonal ingredients, live fire, fermentation, color, abundance, and the occasional beautiful mess.

03

The evening

Drinks before dinner. Food passed around. Music getting louder. Nobody watching the clock too closely.

How the night tends to unfold

The night,
roughly.

  1. I

    Arrival

    Drinks, small plates, introductions, and wandering around while the food comes together.

    Afternoon
  2. II

    Dinner

    Dishes leave the fire and land in the middle of the table. Everything is meant to be passed around.

  3. III

    Afterward

    Dessert appears. The music shifts. The fire keeps going. Leaving becomes a group decision.

finally agrees it has.

Where it leads

The table is where Somara begins.
Not where it ends.

Somara begins with seasonal gatherings and intimate dinners. Over time, it will grow through collaborations, classes, shared knowledge, growing food, and new reasons to bring people together.
