The most consequential conversations in Washington have always happened around dinner tables, not in boardrooms. Somewhere along the way, we lost that tradition.

Cider Supper Club brings it back.

We host intimate dinners for organizations at moments of inflection - when you need to pressure-test your thinking, understand a new landscape, or hear perspectives you're not getting internally. We will curate 8 - 12 guests from our network: strategists, policy experts, operators, creatives, and the kinds of people who end up in DC because of this city's position in the world.

And where does it happen? At home.

This setting isn't incidental–it's essential. Guards come down. Real conversation happens. Unexpected connections emerge. We operate under Chatham House rules–insights and ideas flow freely, but nothing is attributed to individuals or organizations without permission. This creates the safety for people to say what they actually think, not just what sounds good in a corporate setting.

Think salon meets strategy session. A hothouse for ideas. The kind of evening where someone says something over dessert that changes how you think about your challenge by breakfast.

In short, it’s a truly meaningful meal. And so much more.

We offer two flavors of Cider Supper Club

The Supper Club Dinner

Pre-dinner consultation, curated guest list, facilitated conversation over a thoughtfully prepared three-course meal, follow-up recap. The conversation is the deliverable.

The Strategic Dinner

Everything above, plus deeper pre-work, structured facilitation, and a 5-7 page synthesis memo with insights and recommendations you can act on.

Wondering if Cider Supper Club is for you?

This works well for…

Organizations entering DC, brands navigating positioning challenges, teams at strategic crossroads, anyone who needs to understand an ecosystem rather than just network within it.

This probably isn't for you if…

You're looking for the hottest restaurant or a flashy chef's table experience. The value here is in who's in the room and what gets said, not where it happens.
