ABOUTTHEEVENT
We invite you to join us for Palos Verdes Pastoral, an unforgettable garden-to-table dining experience benefiting the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy.
Imagine an intimate gathering with guests at elegantly appointed long tables overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Terranea Resort. As the sun sets and the stars emerge, warm lighting, rich natural textures, and nocturnal botanical and wildlife-inspired décor will transform the evening into a celebration of nature after dusk.
Inspired by the sights and sounds experienced in nature at sunset, this year’s theme of Garden Nocturne will immerse guests in the wonder of the Peninsula's landscape at night. Guests will enjoy curated cocktails, exceptional seasonal cuisine, and meaningful conversation in a setting designed to inspire connection, discovery, and appreciation for the natural world.
In partnership with Terranea Resort and our generous sponsors, this signature fundraising event supports the Conservancy's mission to protect and steward the Peninsula's remarkable open spaces, native habitats, and wildlife. This year's event will also help inspire support for the creation of a new Nature Education Center at George F Canyon—a lasting investment in conservation, education, and community impact.
We warmly invite you to become a sponsor of the 2026 Palos Verdes Pastoral. Together, we can ensure that the landscapes we cherish today continue to educate, inspire, and thrive for generations to come.
Sincerely,
Palos Verdes Pastoral Event Committee 2026
