What’s the Al Fresco Dinner Like?
This dinner is served picnic style which allows you to pick up your dinner and choose a table set with white linens among the flower fields. Dine next to our favorite dahlias, the lavender fields, or other beautiful views while you enjoy your meal. Mingle with other guests, roam the flower fields after dinner, and be sure to savor and take in this stunning evening set apart for you.
Dahlias for Days
When you arrive at PepperHarrow for the Dahlia Al Fresco Dinner, the first thing you’ll notice are the signs guiding you to parking. From there, a short walk brings you to our greeting station, where our team will welcome you and get you checked in for the evening.
Once you’re checked in, you can decide how you’d like to begin. Some guests like to head straight to the white barn to pick up their drinks and meals, while others prefer to first claim a favorite table among the flowers before making their way to the barn. Either way works—this evening is yours to enjoy at your own pace.
The charming white barn is where you’ll gather your carefully prepared beverages and delicious meal, after which you can find a cozy spot at the table of your choice. Take your time to relax, breathe deeply in the warm, late summer air, and fully absorb the stunning view of the dahlia fields glowing softly in the golden sunlight.
The remainder of the evening invites you to slow down, savor each bite of your meal, and allow the natural beauty of the farm to create a peaceful and memorable atmosphere.
Photo Opportunities
Throughout the flower farm, there are beautiful photo backdrops and plenty of opportunities to capture those dreamy sunset moments. Be sure not to miss your chance to take some unforgettable photos.
We hope this peaceful evening provides you with a meaningful opportunity to slow down, truly be present, and fully connect with the serene beauty of nature around you. It is often easy to become caught up in the busyness of everyday life, but it remains so important to stay grounded and rooted in what genuinely matters most.
Tickets are still available, but they won’t stick around forever. You can find them here, or check out any of our other fall classes and events. We can’t wait to connect and welcome you to the farm!
