The Gathering

Start: Friday, October 6, 2023 3:00PM
End: Sunday, October 8, 2023 11:00AM

The Gathering returns to RT Lodge—the boutique inn and restaurant in Maryville, TN. Happening October 6-8, The Gathering was created with the goal of bringing together chefs, farmers, and makers for a full weekend to celebrate the connection between us all. Featuring two collaborative dinner experiences by the Lodge’s Executive Chef, Trevor Stockton, alongside an exciting lineup of guest chefs and beverage experts, the weekend’s activities are curated and close to home—including alcohol tastings, pottery demonstrations, fireside chats, and panel discussions with esteemed industry professionals. Originally created by the team in 2019, this is the first return with plans to bring it back every year moving forward.  Currently their presale package is available, which includes overnight accommodations at the Lodge Friday-Sunday, as well as all meals, beverages, and events. Giving back to the community that supports them is priority so a portion of each ticket sold will benefit Nourish Knoxville—a local 501(c)(3) non-profit incorporated in 2013 in order to expand upon the local food work started through the Market Square Farmers’ Market, its vendors, staff, and other projects.
