Vive la France—and vive the perfect summer afternoon! Join us at Bella Luna Farms for a Bastille Day celebration full of French flair, Pacific Northwest bounty, and plenty of joie de vivre. Surrounded by Bella Luna’s expansive gardens, European-style buildings, and old-world charm, guests will enjoy a five-course Bastille Day feast prepared by beloved Pacific Northwest chef Bruce Naftaly, known for his refined, French-inspired cuisine rooted in seasonal ingredients. The menu begins with Champagne, petits farçies, and herb-laced gougères, followed by a richly layered salade composée with duck liver mousse and hazelnut vinaigrette. Seared scallops with beurre blanc, grilled steak with sauce Choron, and a chilled parfait glacé au nougat et à l’abricot round out the summery meal. In addition to the feast, guests can explore a charming on-site market offering curated Larder goods and artisan cheese from our on-farm creamery. Join us for this elegant summer gathering that pays delicious tribute to France’s culinary legacy—in a setting that feels like the French countryside itself.

Bruce Naftaly

Over the years, Chef Bruce Naftaly has been hailed by local and national press as “the Father of Northwest Cuisine” and Seattle’s “Food Hero”, and has long been considered one of the pioneers of the local farm-to-table movement. The former head chef and chef/owner of some of Seattle’s most renowned restaurants—including Le Gourmand (for 28 years!), the Alexis Hotel and Sambar —Naftaly is now bringing his locally driven food philosophy to your table as a personal chef and instructor. An avid supporter of local organic producers, the PCC Land Trust and other organizations dedicated to preserving local farmland and sustainability, Naftaly also offers custom meal preparation, is available for special events, and often teaches group cooking classes like the ones he hosts here at Bella Luna.
