Come join us for an awesome, green, festive holiday celebration that will be the talk of the town! We've put this event together by special arrangement with Marrakesh House in Culver City, California 90232 the showcase green remodel private residence of filmmaker and avant-environmentalist Chris Paine (Who Killed the Electric Car?).

We’ve laid out the banquet tables, decorated with a natural eco friendly holiday theme, minimized our carbon footprint and opted for dining alfresco, Southern California LA Style! We’ve hand selected a winning sustainable menu, using locally sourced purveyors and a "Farm to Table" philosophy. We’ve selected  a wonderful Jazz trio, to bring that certain holiday "je ne sais quois" to our festivities. Eat, drink, savor dance, saunter, mingle, stir your soul and smile! We’ve even thrown in a few cool holiday themed artistic activities including a photographic exhibit to keep the crowd mingling in-between courses. We will be accepting donations for several eco themed non-profit organizations. Donations will be accepted on the night, as you wish, if you wish. Who knows what else we will come up with for the event.

There in the relaxed atmosphere of this beautiful setting you will enjoy a superb five course tasting dinner prepared by Chef Rico. He has personally sourced all major ingredients from artisanal purveyors as close to this venue as possible. Locally sourced foods are not complete without locally sourced wines. Chef Rico has selected to work with the local gem - Cornell Winery and the wonderful Tim Skogstrom, owner of Cornell Tasting Room. Tim selected a fine blend of wines from the Malibu Appellation along with some of the other regions in California to create just the right balance to blend perfectly and pair with each course.

Plus, within the ecological wonder that is Mr. Paine’s grand dwelling, you will enjoy a specially arranged tour of the 21st century solar powered masterpiece and benefit from engaging speakers and fellow tablemates such as by Shellie Collier, expert on green project management.

Allow yourself the pleasure to slow down the pace of life, celebrate the holidays and participate in an unforgettable event, where we celebrate  the delights of locally sourced food, served at a lingering pace, showcase our carefully custom-crafted menu that will suit your tastes, your lifestyle and your interests. There’s plenty of time to relax between courses, mingle and make new connections, and enjoy great conversation.
