When we first talked about renovating Localis, we couldn’t imagine closing for a day let alone a month or two… then we found the perfect solution…


 

LOCALIS COMES HOME

seven-course
TASTING MENU

MAY - JUNE 2021

This time of year is one of Chef’s favorite times to cook. It’s also one of his favorite times to be on his Auburn property, a magical setting full of mature oak trees overlooking the foothills.

Most nights, he and his wife (and Localis co-owner!) Jessica can be found outdoors, enjoying a glass of wine, and sitting with the family around an open fire and watching the sun go down. It was in one of these moments they realized that now, while renovations are ongoing, is the perfect time to share this beautiful setting with you!

Come dine with the entire Localis team under the giant oaks, where the sunset will greet you and they will be right there to show you all that we’ve been striving to achieve this last year—the lessons we’ve learned, the progress we’ve made, the love we’ve gained.

We are offering “localis comes home”
outdoor dining in the Auburn foothills
May 27-30 and June 24-27

One seating | One menu | 16 guests each night

Champagne and Bites at 6PM
Seven-Course Tasting Menu* with Wine Pairing at 6:30PM

*Menu will be posted one week in advance. This ensures, during the transition from spring to summer, that we will be able to source and serve you the very best seasonal ingredients at the height of their expression. We also want to offer “surprise” add-ons (hint: think caviar and champagne).


MENU JUNE 24-27

The Beginning of new localis

This is it!! The last (at least for now!) Dinner series at the homestead. This menu is full of our favorite things from the past and some things that will be!

We can't wait for you to see what Localis looks like… and even more so how it feels! We thank you for trusting us to feed you well and now we will feed all your senses and your soul.

Cheers to love, passion, food and drink and each other.

WHERE Our INGREDIENTS come from

We want to bridge the gap between farm and fork by letting you know where we source the ingredients for the food we serve. We think this is important because the food decisions people make impact both our culture and our economy. We also want to thank the many local farmers, ranchers, and other purveyors who carefully, skillfully and thoughtfully bring us the ingredients that elevate everything we serve you.
