Nestled beneath the majestic redwoods, our friends at Big Sur Lodge partner with us to invite you to a unique brunch experience.  Savor exquisite dishes from their in-house Chef’s menu, perfectly paired with featured hand selected wines. Let your taste buds dance amidst nature’s grandeur. All levels of artists are welcome, as you never know what latent talents will emerge. A local Big Sur Artist will lead the class, with all supplies provided for your creative expression. Join us—it’s more than brunch; it’s an immersive fusion of flavors and artistry!
