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.

🌿 This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the enduring presence, knowledge, and stewardship of the Tongva-Gabrieliño people. Coming soon to White Point Nature Preserve is a new audio storytelling experience created in partnership with the Tongva Cultural Collective.⁠
⁠
Through Tongva-Gabrieliño voices, visitors will discover native plants through traditional names, stories, pronunciations, and perspectives that reflect generations of knowledge and an ongoing connection to ancestral lands.⁠
⁠
We look forward to welcoming you to listen, learn, and experience the native plant demonstration garden in a new way.⁠
⁠
Funded in part by the California State Coastal Conservancy.⁠

🐦 Happy International Migratory Bird Day! The White-crowned Sparrow is back. Each fall, these striped-capped songbirds fly thousands of miles south from their breeding grounds in Alaska and Canada to spend the winter here in Southern California. For many of us, their arrival is a familiar seasonal marker. Keep an eye out along trail edges and shrubby areas, where they forage on the ground in small flocks.⁠
