Last Thursday, guests gathered for a truly magical evening at Palos Verdes Pastoral: Garden to Table Dining Event at Terranea Resort. With the golden coastal sunset, lemon-inspired décor, twinkling lights, and the refreshing Signature Amalfi–Palos Verdes Spritz Cocktail, the night beautifully blended the charm of Italy’s Amalfi Coast with the natural splendor of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
More than just a celebration of food and culture, the evening was also an opportunity to unveil the Conservancy’s exciting new initiative: the Peninsula Naturalist Program. This program is designed to connect people of all ages and backgrounds to the Peninsula’s unique ecology through an engaging online video series and a certification experience. We invite you to explore the program and share it with your family and friends—Click here to learn more.
We were especially honored to welcome Mario Criscuolo of Piccadilly Italian Ceramics, who joined us all the way from the Amalfi Coast to share his exquisite handcrafted ceramic gifts, adding a touch of authentic artistry to the evening. Mario is donating 10% of any sales to the Conservancy if you mention “Pastoral” with your purchase for a gorgeous piece of the Amalfi Coast for yourself. Click Here
Palos Verdes Pastoral was more than just an event—it was a celebration of nature, culture, and community, and a reaffirmation of our shared commitment to protect the Peninsula’s treasures for generations to come.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening truly unforgettable.
