FIELD TRIP
In the leafy Georgia countryside, the arrival
a
of fall is worth celebratingand no one does
it quite like event designer Keith Robinson.
s autumn descends on Georgia, it brings with it a collective,
contented sigh. Its that moment in the year when the humid-
ity has broken, the sky is blue, and theres not a cloud in it,
says Keith Robinson, who notes that its also his busiest time
of year. Theres something about the light that is really spectacular, and
this alone is a great thing to celebrateto come together right at sunset
and have the party linger on into the evening.
To capture the spellbinding spirit of the season, Robinson arranged an
abundant dinner on a friends rolling, sheep-dotted, 300-acre farm, not five
miles from his own home, Redwine Plantation. The designers tabletop inspi-
ration: vibrant hues that complement the pumpkin-spice tones of the moment.
We dont get a first frost sometimes until well into November, Robinson
