Tickets are Live for “Flavors of the Sonoran Desert” with Chef Wendy Garcia (Stoney Summer Supper Series #3)

Aug 17, 20232 min read

Tickets are now live for the third installment of our upscale cannabis-infused dinner series, produced in partnership with our sister brand Tucson Doobie.

This month’s dinner on August 25th is themed “Flavors of the Sonoran Desert” and will be executed by local Chef Wendy Garcia.

Garcia is a James Beard Semi-finalist and owner of La Chaiteria and Tumerico. She’s known for crafting menus highlighting the diversity of local ingredients.

Guests can choose between two menus – meat (menu image below/left) or vegan (menu image below/right).

Both menus are a celebration of Southwestern ingredients and flavors, featuring dishes like Empanadas Con Vichi, Sonoran Barbacoa, Mesquite Mole Enchiladas, Spicy Pastor Tacos, Smoked Chile Ancho Chocolate Cake, and much more.

Each dish has been thoughtfully infused with a specially selected cannabis olive oil from Abstract Infusions and Queen Creek Olive Mill to complement its flavors, creating a harmonious and truly extraordinary culinary masterpiece. 

“Bringing people together over a shared love of food” responded Wendy Garcia, when asked what is most exciting to her about this dinner. “Togetherness, over a meal with tastes from our home in the Sonoran Desert, is very important and worthwhile.” 

Guests will be served a five-course meal paired with aguas frescas from Garcia and non-alcoholic cocktails crafted by local mixologist Max Wingert.

“We believe in pushing the boundaries of traditional dining experiences and embracing new possibilities,” said Chrissy Mance of Tucson Doobie. “This cannabis-infused dinner is a testament to our commitment to innovation, creativity, and the pursuit of extraordinary culinary feats.”

Seating is very limited. Just 20 General Admission tickets are available at $175 and five (5) VIP tickets are available at $200. VIP includes early entry, a welcome mocktail, an amuse-bouche, and interactive time with Chef Wendy Garcia in an intimate setting.

Guests will receive an email with the exact location 24 hours prior to the dinner, which will be just 2 minutes from downtown Tucson by car.

This evening is brought to you with support from sponsors, including OGeez Brands Edibles, The Downtown Dispensary, iLava, and Parch. Guests also receive gift bags of select items from the above sponsors, as well as products from ioExtracts and Hemp Essence/Divine Elements.
