Red Oaks Farm Table Join us for a monthly outdoor dining experience celebrating the diverse flavors of the United States. Set among the beautiful Gardens of Cantigny Park, the Red Oaks Farm Table dinner series brings guests together for an evening of thoughtfully prepared, regionally inspired cuisine enjoyed al fresco. Each month features a different region of the country, with menus thoughtfully curated and inspired by local traditions, ingredients, and cooking styles. Guided by the season, each menu highlights fresh flavors and a strong sense of place. Every evening includes carefully selected wine and cocktail pairings designed to complement the menu and elevate the experience. From spring through early fall, these dinners are relaxed, communal gatherings centered around great food, beautiful surroundings, and a shared table. Southern Tides (Low Country) Step into the flavors of the Lowcountry with Southern Tides, a five-course farm dinner inspired by the coastal South. From fresh seafood and summer vegetables to smoky pork and sweet Southern desserts, each dish celebrates the bold, soulful flavors that define the region. As the evening unfolds, wines and a signature cocktail bring the dishes to life, creating moments of surprise and delight—like the tang of a chilled corn soup against crisp wine notes, or the warmth of BBQ shrimp paired with a cocktail that balances smoke and sweetness. It’s a celebration of the season, the region, and the joy of sharing a meal that feels both vibrant and rooted in Southern tradition. Space is limited for each dinner.
