People. Table. Place.
Gather creates intimate dining experiences in remarkable places—bringing people together around a communal table.
Take Your Place at the Founders Table
In honor of America's 250th Anniversary, GATHER invites you to historic Salubria Manor on August 29 for an unforgettable evening inspired by the early American table—where provisions carried across the Atlantic meet ingredients foraged from Virginia soil.
Guests will gather at a single long table for a five-course dinner prepared by Chef Frida Johansson, former private chef to the Ambassador of Sweden, with thoughtfully paired beverages and stories shared beneath the Virginia sky. Food historian Michael Carter Jr., author of Africulture, will share insights drawn from his family's century farm in Orange County, Virginia.
Be among the first to experience GATHER at Salubria Manor. For a limited time, sixteen Founders Table tickets are available at exclusive introductory pricing. Once Founders tickets are claimed, standard pricing begins. Reserve your seat today. A limited number of Founders Table seats are now available for the first sixteen guests. Join us for the inaugural GATHER dinner.
More than dinner.
GATHER is designed for people longing for something increasingly rare: an evening that feels human. Guests arrive as strangers and leave having shared a table, conversation, wine, history, and a sense of place together.
The evening unfolds slowly with:
~ welcome cocktails at golden hour
~ passed bites under the Virginia sky
~ a beautifully set communal table
~ courses inspired by culinary history
This is not a restaurant reservation. It is a shared experience shaped by hospitality, story, and atmosphere.
