Dining events like this come along once in a lifetime–literally. This combination of chefs have never created a meal together before and may not again with the timings of life and locations. This is a group of multiple award winners, James Beard Foundation nominees and leaders of their communities, and one that we’re thrilled to bring together for one night only at scenic Newport Vineyards.

On top of being a unique experience, all proceeds from the evening will go to an organization that the chefs and Eat Drink RI have been proud to support for many years. Chefs Collaborative is a national nonprofit network with a mission to inspire, educate, and celebrate chefs and food professionals building a better food system. There will also be some one-of-a-kind auction items at the event for guests to help further support Chefs Collaborative.

Our hosts at Newport Vineyards are generously pairing each course with their locally grown and produced wines along with beers from sister company Taproot Brewing Company. As much of the menu items as possible will be locally-sourced for an experience that showcases Rhode Island and the surrounding area through the talent of these seven chefs.

Chefs Collaborative Fundraiser tickets are $150 and are all-inclusive. The evening will begin with a 5 p.m. cocktail reception with passed hors d’oeuvres, then moving into a multi-course dinner with pairings and more.

Due to the limitations of the venue we are regrettably unable to accommodate any alternative menu/allergen requests other than a vegetarian option. Thank you in advance for your understanding on this matter.

The Women’s Feast is a dining experience prepared by some of the region’s most talented chefs for a multi-course dining event. If you’ve attended one of these female-driven events before then you already know how special it can be. If you haven’t, what have you been waiting for? These chefs are not only some of the most creative cooks in our area, they are also the warmest and kindest group of collaborators.

This unique event is held at the Revival Brewing Company in Cranston with a portion of the proceeds going to charities supporting gender equity. Come see why the Women’s Feast is the event that Eat Drink RI is most proud to be a part of each time it comes along.

We’ve got something all-new and exciting for this year’s Festival. The Rhody Women’s Feast is a dining experience prepared by some of Rhode Island’s most talented female chefs—Jennifer Backman of The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar, Shylicia “Shy” Heyward, Andrea LaFazia of The Locals, Rebecca Lentrichia of Renaissance Providence Downtown Hotel, Maria Meza of El Rancho Grande, Gina Pezza of Vanda and Lizzie Fink of Bread Box Baking Company—for a multi-course dining event.

For this Festival event we’re taking over the brand new Revival Foodworks & Brewery in Cranston, and spirits are being provided by two women-owned distilleries: Boston Harbor Distillery and Pomp & Whimsy Gin Liqueur. Meats will be supplied by Ann Marie Bouthillette of Blackbird Farm in Smithfield, RI. In addition, proceeds from the Rhody Women’s Feast will benefit the Women’s Fund of Rhode Island who’s mission is to invest in women and girls through research, advocacy, grant making and strategic partnerships designed to advance gender equity through systemic change.
