Welcome the weekend under the stars with Tapas & Tunes at 1440, an immersive culinary learning experience offered on select Friday nights.
This dynamic evening begins with an introductory embodied movement class (such as qigong, tai chi or tapping – participation is required in order to dine), before migrating to Kitchen Table to begin your culinary adventure sampling a variety of sustainable food favorites from around the world. Talented members of the 1440 Culinary Team personally develop, prepare and serve each plate while offering guests knowledge about the source, inspiration and flavor profiles of their creation. Afterward, guests can settle in on the Kitchen Table Patio by the fire pit or indoors around the floor-to-ceiling fireplace to enjoy live acoustic music from popular Santa Cruz performers.
Tapas & Tunes has become a favorite gathering place on select Fridays, and is a fun way to explore and discover new experiences while reconnecting with yourself, friends and loved ones.

Attendance at the introductory class is required as a learning component to attend dinner.
The introductory class is planned for indoors in a spacious venue; however, it may be moved outside if weather is favorable.
Casual attire is acceptable for this event, and we recommend you bring a light jacket or layers as temperatures may be cooler beneath our redwood canopies.
Reusable water bottles are welcome — filtered water stations are available throughout campus.
Due to the seasonality of the sustainable ingredients we source from local farms, the Kitchen Table menu will be available and posted approximately one week prior to the event date. A plant-based option is always available.
Kitchen Table offers ample indoor and outdoor seating, including outdoor covered seating options, to practice social distancing.
