Celebrate Our Garden Regions

Enjoy an evening of alfresco tastings inspired by the distinctive cultures of two climate regions represented in the gardens. At each hosted, adults-only event, you’ll be guided through the unique characteristics of two wines, three cheeses, and a specialty food sampling unique to each region. Surrounded by stunning garden and panoramic coastline views, Executive Director Joe Cahill will share details about the Garden’s conservation efforts in the plant collections surrounding each event location.
