Fieldstone Farm’s ever-popular annual fundraiser, Chefs Unbridled, will return to the picturesque Chagrin Valley Hunt Club Polo Field in Gates Mills on September 19, 2026. The annual sellout event with more than 600 guests is recognized as one of the top benefits of the region and all proceeds support Fieldstone Farm programs.
Purchase tickets early as the event sells out each year. 21 and over please. See form to right (computers) and below (phones) to purchase tickets and bourbon raffle tickets as well. We will post a picture of the bourbon raffle package later this year.
Situated under the stars and a magnificent glowing tent, Chef Chris Hodgson of Driftwood Hospitality and his team of top culinary artists, will serve up a delicious tasting menu that is sure to please. Guests will also enjoy cocktails, a wine pull, a bourbon barrel and tequila raffle, a food truck, live music, carriage rides around Gates Mills Village and a visit from some of Fieldstone Farm’s therapy horses.
