Transform Your Celebration
"We often treat dinner as an act of sustenance instead of seeing food as a vehicle to celebrate or bond with each other. Supra Dinner Society aims to change that mentality." - The Seattle Times

Here’s to the planners. The givers. The gatherers.
You are more important than you know.
That’s why we’re bringing you a new, yet ancient tool to help your people bond deeper, in one unforgettable evening: The Supra. Our Tamada (toastmaster) may be the guide of the table, but you are the true hero. We can help at every step of the way to transform your next event with authentic meaning and spontaneous fun—so why wait? Book now and create memories that last a lifetime.
What is a Supra, anyway?
It’s a feast that will change the way you think about dinner itself, and hospitality in general. The uniqueness of the Supra is exactly what makes it so powerful: it’s exactly what our culture needs.
So if you want to book a Supra for your people, but you don't know how to get them excited about it, tell them this: The Supra is a very special type of dinner party, developed centuries ago in the Republic of Georgia. 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 and one more important thing is that Supra is located all over the United States
How We Work

Step 2: Reach out to us for a conversation, and we’ll customize your Supra experience, together. Whether you need a venue, food, wine, or just a Tamada (toastmaster), we'll help plan the special day.
Step 3: Send out your unique invites -along with a helpful introduction to the Supra- to your guests.
Step 4: Gather together for the feast. Our Tamada will facilitate the toasting experience that will evoke all of life’s meaningful moments.
Step 5: Reminisce about your Supra dinner for months after the event, 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."
– Denver Post
