Harvest & Hops: A Dinner to Nourish Our Neighbors
Presented by the Merced County Food Bank in partnership with Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Co. and Chef Mitch Vanagten

This fall, join us for a one-of-a-kind evening of flavor and generosity.

Hosted at the beautiful Tioga Apartments Mezzanine, Harvest & Hops brings together craft beer, seasonal cuisine curated into a five-course harvest-inspired experience, and community purpose in one unforgettable night.

Guests will enjoy a menu crafted by Chef Mitch Vanagten, each dish inspired by and paired with Tioga-Sequoia’s signature brews. From beer-infused mac and cheese to porter-kissed desserts, this dinner captures the best of fall-- rich, comforting, and full of heart.

“I’m honored to be preparing the food for this beer-themed dinner in support of the Merced County Food Bank — a cause close to my heart,” says Chef Mitch.
“Each course will feature a delicious brew from Tioga-Sequoia, not only as a pairing but as a key ingredient in the dishes themselves. This dinner is a celebration of good food, good beer, and giving back.”

Every ticket sold helps ensure that families, children, and seniors across Merced County have food to share during the holidays.
When we gather around a table, we’re reminded of what nourishment really means — connection, compassion, and community.
