The Lodge at Torrey Pines will offer special Vintner Artisan Table dinners this summer on the terrace at A.R. Valentien, the resort’s signature restaurant. In a relaxed, intimate environment, guests will enjoy a variety of seasonal dishes served family style in four courses: appetizers, main course, cheese, and dessert and coffee, along with California wines selected by the vintners to complement each unique meal. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet the chefs and vintners and discuss the evening’s menu items.
