What is a Supra, anyway?

You want to book a Supra for your people, but they don’t know what it is. We’ve been there! Sometimes it’s hard to get people excited about something they haven’t heard of. But the uniqueness of the Supra is exactly what makes it so powerful: it’s exactly what our culture needs.

Here’s the fastest way we’ve found, to explain the Supra: It’s a very special type of dinner party, developed centuries ago in the Republic of Georgia, where a professional toastmaster leads a table through a series of themes such as gratitude, adventure, and love, inviting guests to add their own words, along the way. Oh, and there’s plenty of delicious food and incredible wine. It’s a feast that will change the way you think about dinner itself, and hospitality in general.

How We Work

Step 1: Choose your occasion for a Supra (casual, elaborate, fancy – all kinds of events work great with a Supra).

Step 2: Reach out to us for a conversation, and we’ll customize your Supra experience, together.

Step 3: Send out your unique invites -along with a helpful introduction to the Supra- to your guests.

Step 4: Gather together for a feast, making toasts that evoke all of life’s meaningful moments. 

Step 5: Reminisce about your Supra event for months after the even, cherishing your new memories and heightened friendships!

Toastimonials

We've thrown 200+ Supras across America. Here's what people say:

Unforgettable

"A truly unforgettable dining experience that touches the soul… Every moment was pure magic. More than just a meal, this dinner experience enriches the community and leaves a lasting impression on all."

Pasha J

Lost in Love

"It was easy to get lost in the love and the atmosphere of the dinner experience. I truly believe that if we, as Americans, had these kinds of traditions and dinners with each other, our country would be such a different place."

Heather C

Refreshing

"During my Supra, we revealed our happiest childhood memories, honored deceased loved ones and discussed our life’s biggest passions. You don’t have to share your own story — you can simply listen. But it’s cathartic and refreshing to jump past the small talk and connect with others on such a deep level. I laughed, I wept, I contemplated the meaning of life."
