Welcome to our retreat in the Pacific Northwest, where we transform dinners into a 5 star meal experience. Don, the cook and farmer, enjoys creating farm-to-table dishes by growing his own vegetables and raising kumamoto oysters from their private beach. Being in the PNW provides fresh wild-caught salmon and Dungeness crab, ensuring exceptional freshness and flavor. Each dish is expertly plated, while Patty curates perfect wine pairings and music. Join us for an unforgettable evening of outstanding cuisine and memorable dining experiences.While enjoying your favorite wine or cocktail, explore our Lifestyle pages to discover insights about living in the PNW and embracing life in retirement or at any age. We share our love for gourmet meals and wine pairings prepared at home, featuring narratives, pictures, and videos showcasing meals plated like those in high-end restaurants. We also include humorous anecdotes about our evenings and the music we enjoy. Join our community and learn to create your own 5 star meal experiences at home.
