Tis the season gourmands across the country wait for, White Truffle season! This rare treat is only available from Autumn through December, and merits a special White Truffle Tasting Menu during the month of December when the truffles are at their peak. Available only in Herons starting Wednesday, November 12 2025, the menu showcases the “white diamond of Italy”, balancing the flavors of this most delicate and rare truffle in the world with seven courses of carefully selected ingredients, providing a sensory experience unlike any other.

Seats are $425 plus tax and service charge and can be purchased at 919-447-4050 or online. Reservations are non-refundable but are transferable, wine pairings are also available for an additional cost. 

Join us on Tuesday, November 18th for an intimate evening celebrating artist Peter Roux and his newest exhibition, created in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Marking one year since the storm that destroyed his studio, Roux’s new collection transforms loss into renewal, each piece a reflection of resilience, gratitude, and the quiet strength of beginning again.

Guests will enjoy a passed hors d’oeuvres, and beverages while viewing Roux’s moving body of work. The evening will include an opportunity to meet the artist and hear about his creative process, in the Umstead Art Gallery. 

$35 per person and tickets are nonrefundable but transferrable.
