Trial By Fire Dinner Series

Trial By Fire is Rambler’s immersive, live-fire dining experience rooted in technique, seasonality, and the elemental power of flame.

Throughout the evening, you’ll enjoy a thoughtfully composed, multi-course menu showcasing a range of live-fire cooking methods — from open hearth and hardwood embers to cast iron and smoke. Each dish highlights peak seasonal ingredients, layered with depth, char, and balance that only fire can achieve.

The evening begins with a social hour featuring hors d'oeuvres and complimentary beer, wine, and seasonal cocktails, followed by a communal seated dinner designed to foster connection and shared experience. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into the craft and intention behind each course.

Seating is limited - make sure to reserve your place at the fire!

About the Venue

Traceland Farms sits on 1,600+ acres of beautiful private farmland with stunning views of Tennessee’s rolling hills. This unique and rare estate has the appeal of diversity. The farm has functioned for many years as a recreational escape as well as a complete working ranch; with picturesque hillsides, custom built lodge, elegant horse barn, serene spring-fed lake, and rustic creek-side pavilion, it doesn’t require much to create a stunning setting.

The vast acreage is a mix of agricultural highlights with an emphasis on wildlife conservation, and includes many pasture areas and varying levels of mature timber. The property is alive with whitetail deer, turkey, horses, a few donkeys, and our most recent addition to the cattle fields - Texas Longhorns! Several live water springs on the property produce year round creeks, and help to feed the two lakes.
