In honor of America's 250th Anniversary, GATHER invites you to an unforgettable evening at historic Salubria Manor in Culpeper County, Virginia. On Saturday, August 29, guests will gather at a single long table for a five-course dinner inspired by the early American table—where provisions carried across the Atlantic meet ingredients foraged from Virginia soil.
The table—prepared by Chef Frida Johansson, former private chef to the Ambassador of Sweden—unfolds with thoughtful food, beverage pairings, and stories shared beneath the Virginia sky. Michael Carter, Jr., food historian and author of Africulture, shares his family history with Carter Farms, an incredible century farm in nearby Orange, Virginia. We are pleased to release special Founders Table ticketing for our first sixteen guests. Click here to be an important part of our first 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 Virginia’s culinary history
This is not a restaurant reservation. It is a shared experience shaped by hospitality, story, and atmosphere.
Partnering with Virginia Tourism
GATHER’s Founders Dinner Series at Salubria Manor is presented in collaboration with Culpeper Tourism and through support connected to Virginia’s America 250 commemoration.
This special series celebrates the people, ingredients, and stories that helped shape the Virginia table.
