Like the surface of West Lake, our autumn dinner moves in fluid transitions - from warmth to brightness, earth to air. Each course is designed as a gentle ripple, a reflection, a shift. A meal experienced as movement. Inspired by the artisans of Hangzhou, this dinner honors the beauty of what is made by hand. Every dish, every pour, every textile, and table detail reflects a devotion to craft - to the work of hands shaping something with soul. For one evening only, Bonded by Butter joins forces with Lan Jaenicke - celebrated for her poetic, sculptural approach to artful design - and Perliss Vineyards, whose rare mountain wines carry the wild, expressive character of the land. Together, we invite you into a world where food, fabric, and wine tell a shared story. This will be a 25-bite dinner paired thoughtfully with wines from Perliss Vineyards. The evening unfolds in chapters, mirroring the new season of Lan’s collection - from earth to sky, from weight to lightness, from form to transformation. Each course becomes a brushstroke in a living portrait: a table as atelier, a meal as poetry, a moment suspended in time. What to Expect: Doors open at 4:30 PM Welcome tea ceremony and first-look preview of the collection at 4:45 PM Seated sensory dinner and runway presentation interwoven throughout the evening Wine pairing included in the ticket A duet cello performing throughout the experience A curated take-home amenity A gentle dissolving of boundaries between audience and art As always with Bonded by Butter, a touch of mystery awaits: Once your ticket is confirmed, the private location will be shared with you a few days before the dinner. We reserve intimacy, presence, and the joy of shared discovery. This is more than a dinner. It is a moment of passage a seasonal offering to craft, beauty, and the stories our hands carry. We look forward to welcoming you to the table. A table that breathes. A table that remembers. A table that invites you to feel.
