Welcome Letter from DH

Spring lingers in New England…

At the Ocean House, our calendars blossom with new events and activities in anticipation of warmer weather.

To kick off the month, Food Forager Jan Faust Dane introduces us to container and backyard gardening during her Grow with Us event. We also offer a special Mother’s Day brunch and five-course dinner in Seasons so you can show Mom how much you really care. Jump start your summer over Memorial Day weekend with An Evening in America’s Backyard. This true, country-western style barbeque will have your taste buds jumping and your feet tapping, with a tasty buffet and country songs from local favorite, the Jay Dempsey Band.

In May we also revisit past events, but bring in new faces to offer a fresh experience. Our Farm+ Vine Dinner features a new chef, new winery, and new farm, while our In the Kitchen dinner cooks up the recipes from cultures that have helped to define Rhode Island cuisine.

This month, Sommelier Jonathan Feiler takes on Old World vs. New World Chardonnays in “By the Glass” in advance of his From to Vine seminar. Jan Faust Dane shares her knowledge on edible flowers in “From the Market,” while our chefs give us the perfect recipes using fresh ingredients to welcome the warmer weather, in “On the Plate.”

Browse through, and enjoy this springtime issue of Ocean House Tides.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Hostettler, President and Managing Director
