This Exclusive VIP Dinner At Coachella Has Been Serving Up All The Vibes For Nearly A Decade
At Coachella, not many can guess that there’s an exclusive dinner that features a dining table as long as the festival lineup itself. Yet within the confines of Coachella’s serene VIP Rose Garden, festival-goers can unwind and enjoy a one-of-a-kind, four-course, family-style dinner that plays out on a 200-seat, meandering communal table. Welcome to Outstanding In The Field.
