The Experience, Richmond: Anaviv’s Table & Provenance Dinner

The Experience:

Provenance Dinner: A supper club evening for founders, leaders & thinkers

Join Chef Arnon at Anaviv’s Table with Dia Bondi, author and leadership communications coach, for a Provenance Dinner on Wednesday, April 16, 6:30-8:30pm.

What is a Provenance Dinner? It’s a facilitated discussion woven through a thoughtfully curated fine dining menu to help you gain insight into how your core origin story influences and empowers your leadership.

It’s not a workshop. Nor is it a class. It’s an opportunity to walk away with a new perspective and an expanded network of like-minded thinkers, as you enjoy this private supper club experience. Anaviv’s Table – a communal supper club –  is tucked away in a collection of industrial buildings in Point Richmond.

​This Provenance Dinner brings together 12 founders, leaders and independent professionals in a lovely venue for an origin story exchange designed to expand networks and deepen relationships —all while enjoying a fabulous meal and wine paring prepared by Chef Arnon, formerly of Chez Panisse, co-founder of the Plant to Plate Program and Owner of Sailing Goat.

​Why is it called a Provenance Dinner? Come and you’ll see.

​Bring a friend and reserve your seat at the table. Registration covers the cost a bespoke prix fixe multi-course dinner, and wine pairings, tax and convenience fee—nothing more, nothing less.

​*Chef Arnon can accommodate all dietary restrictions
