We’re honored to host Jacques Pépin and his family at Stone Acres Farm to celebrate his birthday, and Christmas in Connecticut!

This year, we are delighted to welcome James Beard Best Chef Northeast 2023 Winner Sherry Pocknett, to cook this holiday feast alongside Renee Touponce, Chef Partner of Oyster Club and The Port of Call. Chef Sherry, born and raised in Mashpee to the Wampanoag tribe, embodies a rich heritage of indigenous cuisine and New England cooking. Sherry is the first indigenous woman to win a James Beard Award. Chef Renee is a two time James Beard Award Finalist for Best Chef Northeast 2023 and Outstanding Chef in America 2024.

Prior to dinner, enjoy cocktail hour curated by Oyster Club and The Port of Call Bar Director, Jade Ayala, with hors d’oeuvres and live jazz by the fire. Receive a copy of the evening’s menu, hand painted by Jacques himself. The experience of a lifetime, this holiday celebration is the perfect way to celebrate the season of giving!
