Benefit Dinner at Vali’s Alpine Restaurant

We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive evening at Wallowa County’s beloved Vali’s Alpine Restaurant, opening its doors in support of the Josephy Center. Celebrate the season with a fall-inspired menu created by local chefs Dionne Vali (formerly Vali’s Alpine Restaurant), Jo Marie Pitino (formerly The Gold Room), and Zuly Freeborn (Pier 303 Seafood Market). Enjoy an elegant dinner paired with fine wines from the Walla Walla Valley and curated specialty cocktails.
