Three evenings this summer. Fourteen seats each. June, July, and August at The Overlook in the Applegate — the first experiences of Chef Josh Dorcak's new seasonal residency at Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden.

This summer, Josh is taking his kitchen into the Applegate Valley to start a new seasonal residency at The Overlook — a private perch above the vines at Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden, one of the most quietly extraordinary wine estates in the American West. Cowhorn has spent decades farming biodynamically on the banks of the wild and scenic Applegate River — the first winery along the pristine wilderness watershed.

The result is a place of rare ecological integrity, and wines that carry that purity into every glass: bright, alive, and unmistakably of the Applegate. The Overlook is a luxurious vineyard stay that sits above it all, looking out over the valley with a view that makes dinner feel like an event before a single course has been set down.

The evening begins before the table. You'll move through Cowhorn's cellar with winemaker Vince Vidrine — a private tour that opens the story of this very special place — then into the tasting room for a pour from the reserve library before being escorted up to The Overlook. Cocktails on the patio. The valley below.

And then you sit down — fourteen of you at a single communal table — for a multi-course menu built the way Josh has always built them: around what is best right now, at this exact moment in the season, handled with the precision and restraint that have made MAS one of the most singular dining experiences in the Pacific Northwest. The wine is Cowhorn's. The setting is unlike anything else. The seats are very few.

Reserve your place at the table above the vineyard at Cowhorn.
