Schedule of Events
With our theme of The Great American Road Trip – we thought about what folks in other countries think of as American food and the answers are steak and BBQ. So, with our love of all things beef, we are highlighting both of these quintessential American cuisines.

6pm-8pm – Buff-Olivos Lounge
Come experience the famous living room at the grand Fess Parker Wine Country Inn in Los Olivos, California and when that happens in Buffalo Gap, it is called – Buff-Olivos Lounge! Come out as we recreated the infamous evening spent with Fess Parker wines, fabulous hors d’ oeuvres and special friends (and a little singing to).
