Beginning with a signature cocktail and hors d'oeuvres at the Visitor Education Center, a delectable dinner and brief live auction follows on the peninsula with stunning views of the sunset over the lake and gardens. Guests will enjoy a desert rose themed menu by Lon Lane's Inspired Occasions, featuring Beef Tenderloin and Salsa Verde, Charmoula Grilled Chicken, Grilled Cactus with Sweet Peppers and Grilled Asparagus. Dessert will complete the menu featuring Chile Chocolate Cake with Prickly Pear Sauce and Caramel Corn Ice Cream. Wine is included. A vegetarian option is available upon request.
