Only 200 tickets will be sold for this exclusive seated luncheon with concert. Each guest will enjoy a gourmet catered lunch (olive-themed, of course), and pours of an extensive variety of Buttonwood Farm’s award-winning wines produced by one of the Central Coast’s most acclaimed winemakers, Karen Steinwachs. Karen will be in attendance to introduce the audience to each varietal, as only Karen can! The chart-topping jazz band, The Idiomatiques, will be performing.
