TVF Annual Spring Fundraising Dinner

A Farm-Fresh Evening with Chef Devon Sanner

A single line of latitude connects Tucson to Mexico, Morocco, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, India, China, and Japan.

Join Chef Devon Sanner for a one-night, farm-fresh culinary journey along the 32nd parallel, where shared climate and crops give rise to wildly different food traditions. This immersive dinner explores how the same sun, soil, and seasons shape flavors across cultures, using ingredients grown right here in similar conditions.

A Tucson native and celebrated figure in the local food scene, Chef Devon brings more than 15 years of professional experience to the table. He trained and cooked alongside Janos Wilder, a James Beard Award-winning chef and one of the pioneers of Southwestern cuisine, and later became co-owner of Zio Peppe, widely known for its inventive, vegetable-forward Italian cooking and deep commitment to local farms.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Catalina Mountains, enjoy an evening of delicious food, refreshing drinks, and a breathtaking sunset. Guests will also have the chance to take part in our silent auction, featuring an exciting selection of items, with details coming soon.

Come hungry. Leave traveled.
