Dinners
Farm + Vine Dinner
To celebrate the New England bounty and the exceptional talent of our region's culinary masters, the Ocean House hosts the Farm + Vine Dinners. Once a month, we invite a local Chef to prepare a special dinner in Seasons featuring the ingredients from a local farm or purveyor.The guest Chef presents a selection of hors d'oeuvres and a three-course menu, all which are paired with wines chosen by a guest sommelier. For more information, please visit Ocean House Tides.
In the Kitchen
Each month, an Ocean House Chef invites guests to Seasons' Chef Counter for a cooking demonstration of a three course dinner inspired by the season. After the demo, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the dishes at a sit-down dinner in Seasons. For more information, please visit Ocean House Tides.
