THE LAVENDER SOIREE
TASTES & TOASTS OF LOS RANCHOS
Join us for the Lavender Soirée, a festive and enchanting summer evening at the beautiful Barn at Hartnett Park in the heart of Los Ranchos.
Hosted as an annual fundraiser for the Rio Grande Community Farm, this one-of-a-kind tasting event invites guests to sip, savor, and celebrate the flavors of the North Valley. Enjoy a six-course tasting experience featuring signature dishes from beloved local favorites, including:
- Vernon’s Steakhouse
- Sadie’s on 4th
- Bedrock Kitchen
- Don Choche Tacos
- Busy Bee’s Frozen Custard
- Los Ranchos Bakery
Each dish is thoughtfully paired with a handcrafted cocktail, mocktail, or wine carefully selected by Still Spirits Distillery and the Los Ranchos Winery at Kelly Jo Designs by Wine. Non-alcoholic tasting tickets are available.
As you stroll through the evening, enjoy live music, a special performance by Spanish Broom Flamenco, floral-themed activities, a photo booth, and a silent auction—all surrounded by the beauty and fragrance of lavender season.
More than just a night out, the Lavender Soirée is a celebration of community, local food, and the agricultural heritage of Los Ranchos. Every ticket purchased helps support the Rio Grande Community Farm’s mission to cultivate education, agriculture, and community in the North Valley.
