📸 A little peek behind the scenes of last weekend’s Gathering for Good at the beautiful White Barn in Edna Valley.

Over 250 Guests were treated to a Gourmet Dinner by Ox + Anchor, thoughtfully crafted by Michelin Guide recommended Chef Ryan Fancher and his talented team from Hotel SLO.

From goat cheese croquettes and compressed watermelon to entrées of steak, fish, or vegetarian… this was far from your average banquet dinner. 🍽️🌟

The evening celebrated 20 years of the French Hospital Foundation, and we’re deeply grateful for all they do to keep our community healthy and thriving. 💛
