What is a Grand Aïoli?The Village Feast follows the tradition of one of the great, late-summer feasts of Provence, France, where vast amounts of pungent aïoli—the golden garlic-mayonnaise that is a symbol of Provençal cuisine—unites people and food for a gastronomic celebration. The Sacramento region and Provence share a rich agricultural bounty owing to our Mediterranean climates. All that is needed for a feast—olives and olive oil, vegetables, nuts, wines, lamb, and more—is cultivated from the soil of our region.In the spirit of a Grand Aïoli, please bring your own table settings, plates (salad, entrée , and dessert plate), silverware, water glasses, and napkins so you can enjoy this communal meal.The MenuAperitifs include olives, nuts, and local rosé wines. The meal is served family-style, with accompanying local wines placed on the tables, starting with passed platters of heirloom tomatoes drizzled with local olive oil and freshly made baguettes. Steamed and grilled local vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, and bowls of garlic-scented aïoli follow the tomatoes. Next comes the grilled lamb and summer white bean salad. The bottles empty, the bread is eaten, and dessert is served—fruit tart, or as the French say, a galette. Catering is provided by Buckhorn Steakhouse of Winters.The Auction!As you know, we moved our in-person silent auction to an online auction, using the Auctria auction platform.
