Walnut Harvest Dinner

Beautiful weather, delicious food, wonderful music, and great company made this year’s Lakeport Walnut Harvest Dinner an evening to remember! Held beneath the gazebo at Xabatin Community Park, the event brought together community members to celebrate one of Lake County’s treasured agricultural products and the talented culinary professionals who make our community special.

Guests began the evening with a spectacular grazing table featuring walnut-inspired appetizers prepared by local Lakeport restaurants. Four beloved local culinary favorites—Ripe Choice Farm, On The Waterfront, Ferrigno’s Italian Baked Goods, and Santana’s Cottage—then delighted guests with an extraordinary five-course, walnut-themed dinner. Each course showcased the versatility and delicious flavor of walnuts, celebrating the bounty of our region and the creativity of our local chefs.

Live music provided the perfect backdrop as guests enjoyed an evening filled with exceptional food, friendly conversation, and community spirit. The beautiful setting, perfect fall weather, and enthusiasm of everyone involved made this a truly memorable celebration of Lake County’s agricultural heritage.

A heartfelt thank-you goes to our talented chefs, participating local restaurants, musicians, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who joined us to make this special evening such a success!
