The Village Feast 2022

Les Dames d’Escoffier, Sacramento, and Davis Farm to School have paired together because of a shared vision: both are charitable, tax-exempt organizations who work in support of early and continued education around food and agriculture. The Dames provide scholarships to women in food, wine, and agriculture, and Davis Farm to School provides garden grants, farm field trips and support for farm-fresh food in the schools. All proceeds from The Village Feast go toward these missions.

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, silverware, glasses, and napkins so you can enjoy this communal meal. The menuAperitifs include olives, nuts, local wines, and fresh baguettes. The meal is served family-style, with passed platters of heirloom tomatoes drizzled with local olive oil. 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.The Silent AuctionBid on dozens of fabulous items donated by chefs, restaurants, wineries, and community members.
