Bozeman, Montana

This event could not have been a success without the support and collaboration from our friends at Bodhi Farms in Bozeman, Montana. This gorgeous 35-acre property houses a farm that supplies their restaurant—and our dinner—a resort, an outdoor event space, and unique Montana-style lodging options. The world-class hospitality team there, as well as the owners, Rayner and Tanya Smith, helped us deliver something truly special. 

A bison was slaughtered specifically for this dinner via our friends at North Bridger Bison, who were also present at the dinner. Guests heard from Chef Eduardo about how each part of the animal was used in the dinner and about the rangeland practices NB Bison adheres to. 

Select wines from Passalacqua Winery were paired with the meal, and guests had the opportunity to speak with the owner and winemaker about their passion for hunting, fishing, and wild foods. Being direct to consumer, anyone who enjoyed the wines, each of which has a suggested wild game meat pairing on the back of the bottle, was able to place an order that evening. It's been an honor to work so closely with the tight-knit Passalacqua family, and we look forward to pouring you a glass soon.

Since many of our events are outdoors, we've partnered with Turtlebox to ensure that our team, the music and guest readers are heard. We also didn't have to worry about the rain that refused to stop for 48 hours. These speakers are completely waterproof, built as tough as they come, and are loud as hell. We couldn't think of a better option for a shared outdoor experience that kept the good times rolling well into the moonlight.
