Thursday, October 2, 2025 at Terranea -- SOLD OUT

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.
