Begin with an intimate fireside chat featuring Julia Child’s niece, Phila Cousins, and Julia’s Grand-Nephew, Alex Prud’homme, offering personal stories and insight into her enduring legacy.
Then gather on the garden lawn for a coursed, family-style supper with curated cocktail pairings, inspired by Julia Child celebrating the joy of food and bringing people together.
