The dinners will take place on November 6th and 8th at Arome in Redmond. The evening will feature a ten-course tasting menu rooted in the micro-seasons and terroir of Central Oregon, with an optional wine pairing curated by the venue. Designed to showcase locally grown, foraged, and fermented ingredients, the menu blends fine dining precision with a deep sense of place.
“This pop-up is about creating a one-of-a-kind experience for the people of Central Oregon — one that highlights the micro-seasons of the Pacific Northwest and fosters genuine connection with guests,” said Calmels. “I have a deep passion for hospitality and look forward to offering an environment where lasting memories can be made. It feels great to be back in my hometown of Bend, sharing what I’ve learned over the past decade working alongside some truly talented chefs.”
Calmels’ approach reflects his experience in some of the world’s most acclaimed kitchens, combined with a commitment to local sourcing and sustainability.

Anne Gibson opens “Reflections and Reveries” November 7, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District First Friday Gallery Walk. Please come for our opening reception and also enjoy the exhibit through the end of the month.
In this body of work painter Anne Gibson considers reflections and what is true? The reflection in the water is real, but it’s not necessarily what you see above the waterline. Is what you remember truer than a photo snapped in the moment? Truth can be deceptive. Anne Gibson primarily sees ‘place’ as her inspiration. She finds herself moved to paint places and memories that fill her heart. Yet recently, she has also been exploring how to portray what breaks her heart as well.
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District, open seven days a week. tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.
