Tickets are $100 per person, and all proceeds benefit The Sanctuary at Red Bell Run.Roe is a retired English Professor, poet, Celtic harpist, and potter whose creative spirit extends beautifully into her kitchen. Her culinary roots span generations and continents — from Hungarian peasant comfort food learned at her grandmother’s side, to Italian dishes shaped by her mother’s Brooklyn upbringing, to the fresh, local traditions she embraces through her Irish heritage. Food, for Roe, is history, art, and hospitality woven together.Last year she prepared celebrated “Taste of Ireland” and “Taste of Hungary” dinners for the Tryon Arts and Crafts School, serving 40–60 guests. Now she returns to the magic of the intimate table — where conversation flows as freely as the wine and every dish tells a story.This evening's theme is A Taste of Italy, served in Roe’s 1915 cottage in Tryon, originally built for artist Jean Stansbury Holden.
