Come Hungry.
Leave Changed.
A sunset drive down a winding country road. A place with a story to tell. Guests arrive to warm welcomes. Thoughtful food. Curated pairings. Lanterns flicker. Stories shared by chefs, farmers, and historians. Strangers become friends as conversations stretch into evening. Gathered around a single table. More than dinner, GATHER invites you to slow down, share a meal, and rediscover the simple joy of connection.
THIS IS GATHER.
People. Table. Place.
GATHER is built on a simple belief: meaningful experiences happen when the right people come together around a communal table in a remarkable place. More than dinner, each evening is an opportunity to slow down, share stories, discover new perspectives, and experience the quiet magic that happens when food, conversation, and an amazing place become part of the same story.
GATHER’s Founders Dinners at Salubria is presented in collaboration with Culpeper Tourism and through support for Virginia’s America 250 Commemoration.

What is a Founder?
As America marks its 250th anniversary, we reflect on the people who helped build our nation. Most were not famous when history called upon them. They were farmers, tradesmen, merchants, teachers, soldiers, and neighbors who chose to contribute something larger than themselves.
Today, founders still surround us. They are the people building businesses, preserving traditions, strengthening communities, mentoring others, creating opportunities, and caring for the places they call home. The Founders Dinner Series celebrates both the founders of our past and the founders among us today.
Founders Table
The first 16 guests to reserve a seat will receive preferred pricing, early access to future GATHER experiences, and a signed copy of Michael Carter Jr.'s Africulture. Founders Table is not a separate table or VIP section. It is simply our way of thanking the first guests who help bring GATHER to life.
