Rancho La Puerta hosts annual silent dinner event for guests
Wellness hotel Rancho La Puerta held a complimentary five-course silent dinner event for sixteen guests.
Guests eat without speaking
Sixteen strangers sat at a rectangular table to share a meal in absolute silence. The group agreed beforehand not to share a single word during the ninety-minute experience. Forks scraping plates and clearing throats were the only sounds heard throughout the dining room.
Hotel offers quiet experiences
Rancho La Puerta has hosted this complimentary event for at least fifteen years as part of its wellness philosophy. The property provides other noise-free activities including onsite labyrinths and sunrise mountain hikes free of man-made sound.
