Kitchen Garden Tour and Dinner

A few spots open up on one weekday and Saturday to join our farm-to-table experience. This is a more relaxed and intimate experience than our guest chefs’ pop-up dinners. Depending on the sunset time, we will begin around 5:00 or 5:30 pm. You will receive an email with the exact time the day before your reservation. We start with a tour around the property where you can meet our chickens and enjoy our garden and orchards just before joining everyone at a long table for a delicious dinner made by the El Pretexto team with locally sourced ingredients, lots of love, and the opportunity to pair it with a bottle of good wine.

The four courses are created with fresh ingredients, so we ask for allergies or restrictions and leave our creativity flowing! [Sorry, we don’t have a menu to share.]

The price is per person. Everyone will be seated on a long communal table. Wine bottles will be sold separately.

El Pretexto is an adult-only and smoking-free venue. Thanks for your consideration!

Kitchen Garden Tour and Dinner (Copy)

A few spots open up on one weekday and Saturday to join our farm-to-table experience. This is a more relaxed and intimate experience than our guest chefs’ pop-up dinners. Depending on the sunset time, we will begin around 5:00 or 5:30 pm. You will receive an email with the exact time the day before your reservation. We start with a tour around the property where you can meet our chickens and enjoy our garden and orchards just before joining everyone at a long table for a delicious dinner made by the El Pretexto team with locally sourced ingredients, lots of love, and the opportunity to pair it with a bottle of good wine.

The four courses are created with fresh ingredients, so we ask for allergies or restrictions and leave our creativity flowing! [Sorry, we don’t have a menu to share.]

The price is per person. Everyone will be seated on a long communal table. Wine bottles will be sold separately.

El Pretexto is an adult-only and smoking-free venue. Thanks for your consideration!
