7-Course Indigenous Chef Collaboration Dinner
Join acclaimed Indigenous chefs Jack Strong and Alexa Numkena-Anderson for an unforgettable seven-course dining experience celebrating heritage, culture, and culinary artistry in honor of Native American Heritage Month.
The evening begins with a cocktail reception featuring Indigenous-inspired bites and sparkling wine. Guests will then enjoy seven thoughtfully crafted courses exploring the rich traditions, seasonal ingredients, and enduring stories of Indigenous cuisine, paired with exceptional wines from Native-owned Greywing Wines.
Bringing together traditions from the Pacific Northwest and beyond, the dinner reflects each chef's personal journey and deep connection to Indigenous ingredients, community, and storytelling. Chef Strong is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, while Chef Numkena-Anderson, founder of Javelina Indigenous Dining, draws inspiration from her Hopi, Yakama, Cree, and Skokomish heritage.
Co-founded and led by Brandy Grey, who is of Cherokee and Shawnee descent, Greywing Wines is rooted in a deep connection to the land and a sense of place. The micro-winery produces low-intervention wines and donates proceeds beyond operating costs to support Native nonprofits and initiatives.
