Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting some of my favorite local wedding planners out to the Lodge to enjoy special cocktails and our beautiful views.  On the menu was an overflowing cheese tray with offerings from some of my favorites such as Cowgirl Creamery and Andante, the incredible wines of Long Meadow Ranch in Rutherford (both bio-dynamically farmed and organic!), and trays of specialty sweets from our own Ethan Howard.  I was absolutely floored by the gorgeous flowers from Kate’s Blossoms, and the wonderful furniture arrangements on the terrace by
Wine Country Party and Events. One of the highlights of the night was our signature cocktail which I think would be perfect for any Spring Wedding.  David Garrett, our bar manager shares the recipe here for the “Grapefruit”- with its soft peachy hue and delicately sweet bubbles, I know your guests for any event would love it!

Cavallo Point “Grapefruit”
