Enjoy Frank and Claudette Mercardante’s inspirational and elegant new hilltop estate Casa di Fede.

Hear Chef Jeff Henderson’s inspiring story of redemption. Once one of San Diego’s most wanted cocaine dealers, prison awakened his passion for cooking and a new and better vision for his life. With the odds stacked firmly against him, Chef Jeff  ultimately achieved his dream becoming executive chef at Café Bellagio in Las Vegas. Now his life’s story is a New York Times bestseller, the inspiration for a Food Network show, and the basis for a Columbia Pictures film with Will Smith playing the lead.

Indulge in locally produced wines from Orfila Vineyard paired with Chuao Chocolatier artisan chocolates.

Hear the incomparable Cecilia String Quartet, recipients of the Joseph Fisch and Joyce Axelrod String Quartet residency at San Diego State University in association with the La Jolla Music Society
