In its third year, Summer Supper Somm features top chefs and food and beverage professionals across the state celebrating tomatoes. Partners include David and Barbara Hunsaker (their Village Garden grows over 300 varieties of the fruit on their small farm in Hanover) and enthusiastic oenophile and sommelier Jason Tesauro of Barboursville Vineyards.

This year’s event at the Garden will focus on local tomatoes and Virginia wines. Our garden party starts promptly at 6 p.m. and will have passed hors d’oeuvres and various food stations with paired wine.
