Autumn along the Palos Verdes coast is simply summer that hasn't ended. The light is clearer, the pace slower, and everything still within reach. Each day arranges itself: a morning at The Spa, an afternoon on The Links, a table held at Mar'sel, the wine you favor already poured. Evenings arrive on their own time, the sky moving through amber and crimson before deepening into violet as the sun sets behind Catalina and the last of the light fades.
An Evening with Laurent-Perrier
Thursday, October 22 | 5:30-9pm | Mar'sel
Savor a tasting menu on the water, each course paired with a Laurent-Perrier cuvée up through the prestige Grand Siècle. Founded in Tours-sur-Marne in 1812 by André-Michel Pierlot, the Champagne house joins Terranea for one evening, poured personally by Michelle DeFeo, President of Laurent-Perrier US.
Harvest Festival
Sunday, October 25 | 5-9pm | Palos Verdes Meadows
Autumn settles over the bluffs, with live music at golden hour, a cider bar poured through the evening, seasonal crafts and activities, and a table of fare drawn from the coast. A gathering for the whole family, set in the last light of the season.
Caviar Hour
Friday-Sunday | 5-8pm | Lobby Bar & Terrace
The Pacific stretches beyond the Terrace as the light begins to change. Champagne is poured, select wines carry special pricing, and caviar arrives at the table as the evening settles in with a sense of occasion.
