What we’re about
Welcome to Ventura County Table Society!
We're a community of adults who believe sharing a meal should be about more than just food. Our dinner gatherings focus on cultivating real conversation, social graces, and genuine connections in a phone-free environment.
🍽️ What We Do:
• Intimate dinner parties hosted at homes or select venues (6-8 guests)
• Practice hosting skills, table manners, and conversation arts
• Cost-sharing approach (typically $15-30 per person depending on venue)
• Thoughtful conversation topics suggested in advance
• Post-meal feedback to help everyone improve their social skills
✨ Perfect For:
• Working professionals wanting deeper connections
• Empty nesters expanding their social circle
• Anyone new to Ventura County seeking community
• Aspiring hosts looking to build confidence
• People tired of superficial social interactions
🏡 How It Works:
Members volunteer to host dinner parties at their homes, private dining rooms, or carefully chosen venues throughout Ventura County. Guests contribute to costs and everyone practices the lost arts of gracious dining, meaningful conversation, and hospitality.
📱 House Rules:
• Ages 21+ only
• Phones away during meals
• Respectful conversation (topics discussed in advance)
• Everyone participates in cleanup (when applicable)
• Judgment-free zone for learning social skills
🍷 Adult-Friendly:
We welcome wine pairings and cannabis-friendly events (clearly marked). Our goal is creating comfortable spaces for authentic adult connection, whether in someone's dining room or a beautiful private venue.
Join us in bringing back the art of intentional dining and conversation!
