Imagine a long summer table in the middle of a historical estate vegetable garden.

The scent of tomato plants drifts through the air. Plates are piled high with the juiciest tomatoes from the field. Glasses are refilled, platters are passed and people you've never met before become friends over food, fragrance and curious conversations.

We'll spend the afternoon falling a little deeper down the tomato rabbit hole than most people ever do. Smelling, tasting and talking about the secret and strange ways tomato plants communicate with the world around them. A perfumer and a chef will take you along a journey of the tomato plant and how Lingua Planta's new perfume - TOMATO LEAF - came to life. 

There will be a feast, a new perfume and a lot of tomatoes. We're delighted to welcome you! 

The afternoon includes:

– A seasonal four-course vegetarian feast prepared by Tessa Brandsma, centred around tomatoes grown at Tuinderij Eyckenstein

– A thoughtfully paired selection of organic alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks

– Storytelling and conversation with the farmers of Tuinderij Eyckenstein and culinary anthropologist Tessa Brandsma

– An introduction to the fascinating scent world of the tomato plant and the story behind Tomato Leaf

– A 10ml bottle of Tomato Leaf to take home
