Philosophy
Stag Dining Group has refined its mission to connect the vibrant San Francisco culinary landscape with the world of events. Our enthusiasm for crafting memorable experiences drives us to provide our guests with the finest ingredients sourced from both land and sea. We prioritize warmth and empathy, ensuring that these values resonate through every interaction between our team and our guests.
STAG LAUNCHED IN 2010 WHEN A GROUP OF CHILDHOOD FRIENDS CAME TOGETHER TO OFFER INSPIRED DINING EVENTS IN A NOMADIC SUPPER CLUB FORMAT CALLED THE “CLANDESTINE DINNER SERIES.”
At that time, on the cusp of the growing “foodie revolution,” the now common “pop-up” was a novel idea that met the demand for unique ways to showcase various talents: art, music, food, and, oh yes, wine.
Stag’s thematic dinners integrated some of San Francisco’s best food and beverage industry talents along with artisans and artists. Partners included Scribe Winery, Heath Ceramics, Almanac Beer, and celebrity chefs like Jacques Pépin and hunter/cookbook author Hank Shaw. The dinners often involved unique locations (hunting lodge, old Victorian living room) where we could unite these elements in unconventional formats.
STAG’S INITIAL SUPPER CLUB APPROACH UNITED EXCELLENT CUISINE AND ART, DESIGN AND MUSIC, AND SUSTAINABLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS WITH CRAFT SPIRITS AND WINE, IN A FESTIVE YET SOPHISTICATED ATMOSPHERE.
From years of creating our own innovative events from top to bottom we now, as a full service events company, apply the skills we’ve honed to develop, plan, and execute elaborate private and corporate events like weddings, brand activations, mixers, cocktail receptions, networking events, and even conferences for some of the Bay Area’s top companies like Instagram, Airbnb, Google and Levi’s.
OUR HERITAGE IN THESE VARIED SCENES, ALONG WITH OUR RELENTLESS COMMITMENT TO QUality sets stag apart.
These connections allow us to source and staff our events with members of San Francisco’s internationally renowned restaurant and bar scene. We’re your “culinary outfitters,” guiding you in the execution and design of an unforgettable event experience.
