The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino introduces a new way to explore the social and cultural history of The Huntington’s Desert Garden through the lens of food and drink in a new program called “Taste the Gardens,” on Thursday, November 4, 5 to 7:30 p.m.
In “Taste the Gardens,” an in-person outdoor activity, Chef instructor Maite-Gomez-Rejon of Artbites and John Trager, curator of the Desert Garden, will lead participants through the Desert Garden while sharing its history and sustainability.
Following the discussion, participants will prepare mezcal and tequila cocktails while enjoying chips with fresh cactus pico de gallo in the Rose Hills Garden Court.
The class will be held outdoors with space between each workstation to allow for social distancing, including individual prep stations and pre-packaged cocktail ingredients for each participant.
Unvaccinated participants must remain masked for the duration of the program, except when eating or drinking. Due to COVID-19 safety protocols, class capacity is limited and there will be no waiting list for this program. Participants are advised to dress appropriately for outdoor evening weather.
Tickets are $50 for members, and $60 for non-members. Participants must be 21 and older.
