Isole Dinner Club chef Richard Witting and In Tandem Arts director Trish Denton team up for a multisensory culinary theater experience that interprets works by English writer, illustrator and naturalist Beatrix Potter. Stroll the fields and gardens of Shelburne Farms with circa-1900 friends Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail as storytellers spin tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, Squirrel Nutkin, Jemima Puddle-Duck, and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. A meandering midday session includes a kid-friendly four-course picnic lunch while artisan cocktails and coursed appetizers flavor a late-afternoon wander.
