Palos Verdes Pastoral
VIP Reception 4 PM | Main Reception 5 PM | Dinner 6 PM
Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at Terranea
Date Change: Pastoral will now take place on Tuesday, October 27, rather than Wednesday, October 28, due to an unavoidable venue scheduling conflict. We appreciate your understanding and support and look forward to a very special evening.
Garden-To-Table Dining
Picture 200 guests seated at long, linen-draped tables in an exclusive coastal setting. Wine glasses catch the sunlight and a gentle ocean breeze drifts by and mingles with the scent of coastal blooms. As the first of several courses is served, an evening of fine wine, seasonal flavors, and sunset dining unfolds.
In partnership with Terranea Resort and generous sponsors, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy presents this signature event. Terranea’s acclaimed Chef de Cuisine, Andrew Vaughan, crafts a gourmet garden-to-table menu featuring the freshest local ingredients, artfully presented with artisan products that showcase the best of California.
Pastoral 2026
Garden Nocturne: Creating a New Nature Education Center
Inspired by the sights and sounds experienced in nature at sunset, this year’s theme will immerse guests in the wonder of the Peninsula’s landscape at night. Imagine the sun setting and stars emerging, warm lighting, rich natural textures, and nocturnal botanical and wildlife-inspired celebration of nature after dusk.
This year’s event will also help inspire support for the creation of a new Nature Education Center at George F Canyon—a lasting investment in conservation, education, and community impact.
We warmly invite you to become a sponsor of the 2026 Palos Verdes Pastoral. Together, we can ensure that the landscapes we cherish today
continue to educate, inspire, and thrive for generations to come.
