Erika Kubick of CheeseSexDeath is bringing her newest book, Cheese Magic, to Caprae for a dinner that celebrates exactly what the title promises. Erika has spent years making the case that cheese is sacred, that the table is ritual, and that the act of gathering with intention — especially around something made with this much care — is its own kind of magic. We believe her. The evening runs twice: doors open at 4:30pm and again before the 7pm seating. Both are the full experience. 

It begins outside. Happy hour on the farm, live music, and the 217flea market running across the grounds — local makers, vintage finds, and the long unhurried light of the longest days of the year. Drinks available by the glass or through an optional beverage package.

Then dinner. Four courses inside Caprae, each one moving through a different turn of the Wheel of the Year — spring herbs and fresh chèvre, summer stone fruit and bloomy rinds, autumn earth and aged tomme, winter spice and something warming. Erika will be at the table with you, sharing stories from Cheese Magic and her years of devotion to the craft. Our award-winning goat cheeses are woven through every course, made right here on the farm.After dinner, the fire pit. The solstice. Whatever comes next.

Tickets are limited for both seatings and start at $121 per person.
