Flavors of Fall
2025-10-04 15:00 - 18:00 (America/Detroit) | SunWatch Indian Village, 2301 West River Road, Dayton, OH, 45418, usa
The Dayton Society of Natural History (DSNH) invites the community to celebrate the tastes of the season with Flavors of Fall, a one-of-a-kind outdoor, rain or shine dining experience at SunWatch Village. This year’s event, held on Saturday, October 4, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., features an elevated new twist: wine pairings curated by Joui Wine, bringing prestige and culinary artistry to Dayton’s favorite fall tradition.

Joui Wine is an establishment comprised of wine enthusiasts based in downtown Dayton, and shares their passion with the community through curated retail selections, an acclaimed bar program, chef-driven small plates, tastings, and special events, making them a perfect partner for this year’s Flavors of Fall. Joui’s owner and CMS Certified Sommelier, Lauren Gay, has curated wine tastings to go along with the event’s fall bites and flavors.

“It’s an honor to partner with SunWatch for the first time,” says Gay. “I’ve curated wines that highlight the flavors of the season—apples, honey, and more—while celebrating a historic part of our community. Flavors of Fall is about enjoying food, wine, and learning together, all while supporting something bigger than ourselves.”

Set against the backdrop of SunWatch, guests will savor a seasonal menu featuring Ohio’s fall bounty, from apples and honey to squash, corn, and bison, thoughtfully paired with Joui Wines selection of wines. A cash bar curated by Joui ensures additional offerings for those who wish to explore beyond the pairings.

The evening is designed for all ages, making it a family-friendly and foodie-friendly event. Guests will enjoy guided tours and educational programming that illuminates the vibrancy of the village that once stood along the banks of the Great Miami River. “Flavors of Fall is a great time to come out and enjoy community, conversation, and the beautiful SunWatch Village,” said Tracey Tomme, Director and CEO of the Dayton Society of Natural History. “With Joui Wines curating the wine experience this year, we’re thrilled to bring a new level of sophistication to the event, while still keeping it welcoming and family-friendly.”

Tickets include food tastings, curated alcohol offerings, and all scheduled activities. A cash bar will be available as will non-alcoholic drinks. Tickets are $35 for adults (ages 12 and up) and $15 for children under 12. Advance purchase is recommended, as space is limited. Tickets are available now at https://boonshoft.org/events/flavors-of-fall/.

Why This Summit Matters
Across the Miami Valley, our Matthew 25 congregations—faith communities dedicated to confronting poverty, championing justice, and strengthening community vitality—are uniting around one of the most pressing challenges of our time: housing insecurity. Whether you’re a longtime advocate, a newcomer to the issue, or simply curious about how faith can intersect with public policy, this day‑long gathering offers a clear, compassionate roadmap for turning concern into action.
What You’ll Experience

Local Policy Panel – Council members, city staff, and regional planners discuss current ordinances, zoning reforms, and coordination efforts.
Lunch with Local Organizations – During lunch, partner nonprofits present brief overviews of their missions and volunteer opportunities, followed by a “call‑to‑action” showcase where attendees learn how to contact state and federal legislators or join community action hubs.
Panel: A Matthew 25 Church in a Housing Crisis – Faith‑based groups share how they’re mobilizing congregations to address specific facets of the housing emergency.
Lived‑Experience Panel – Cost of Poverty – People with direct experience of housing insecurity discuss the real‑world impact of rent burdens, utility costs, and eviction risk.
What Comes Next: Visioning Session – Facilitated brainstorming to translate insights from the day into concrete next steps, partnership ideas, and personal commitments.
