Secret Supper Club

Chef Dylan loves to get creative and come up with inventive, new menus. Now with our Secret Supper Club, he'll partner with a winemaker for a few small, intimate dinners by invitation only. These special dinners will include a featured winemaker to talk about their wines and give you a personal insight into their passion and what makes them so great. But, you need to get "in-the-know" because you won't see them published on our website. To get your secret invitation, please e-mail us at BarkingFrogEvents@willowslodge.com to request information on our upcoming Secret Suppers.

Where Frogs Bark

Barking Frog is named after the Native American use of the frog as a symbol of abundance. Storytellers say, when frogs bark, it’s a sign of peace and harmony – our wish for every guest who walks through the door. A large circular table surrounds a fireplace where guests gather all year round for a meal or one of our special Winemaker Dinners.
