Events
As California and Northwest Patrons, we are constantly engaging in a series of exclusive curated events throughout the year. Typically, we have four to eight local events annually in and around Southern California (predominantly throughout Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties, with occasional events in San Francisco and Bay Area-adjacent cities), and two to four events in the Seattle area. All of our events are free and open to California and Northwest Patrons and their guests.
