EXCURSION: Caldera Cacao Roasters Tour - Full, waitlist available
2026-01-29 16:30 - 17:30
November 2025 Mingle & Munch Coffee

Join us for an owner-led tour of small batch dark chocolate makers, Caldera Cacao Roasters. This is a true bean-to-bar chocolate maker where every hand-made bar begins with raw cacao beans that they roast, crack and winnow, then grind into chocolate. The entire process takes place at this little chocolate factory in Bozeman! Hear the story of how this venture came to be, and learn how they make chocolate from sourcing better-than-fair trade cacao beans to making delicious, award-winning bars. Of course there will be samples!

This tour is again full. Contact Cheryl for more information or to get on the waitlist in case there are more cancellations.

May 2026 Luncheon
2026-05-07 11:30 - 13:00
November 2025 Mingle & Munch Coffee

Join us for a behind‑the‑scenes look at how Montana became a magnet for filmmakers — from The Horse Whisperer and A River Runs Through It to Yellowstone and beyond.

Allison Whitmer, an MSU graduate and Montana’s Film Commissioner, has spent more than two decades helping turn Big Sky Country into Hollywood’s favorite backdrop. Rooted in the generational knowledge of her pioneer grandparents and a deep love of open spaces, she brings both professional expertise and authentic Montana spirit to her work. She is also a passionate advocate for historic preservation and youth education, especially in her home region on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation.

At our May luncheon, Allison will share stories from the set, insights into the business of filmmaking, and how the Montana Film Office supports communities across the state, including through the Big Sky Film Grant, bringing new creative projects and meaningful economic impact to Montana every year.

Come for the conversation, stay for the inspiration — and discover why Montana isn’t just beautiful, it’s film‑ready.
