About this Event
The Valley Estate X Balboa Italian
We invite you to join us for the return of our much-loved Italian Long Lunch series, this time with a fresh new look, where we ask guests to wear all-white attire—think crisp white linen shirts, flowing dresses, white hats and summer ease.
Set across the picturesque grounds of The Valley Estate, this experience celebrates long afternoons, beautiful food, and the joy of gathering with great company.
Arrive in style in The Glasshouse, where a choice of Bianco Spritz, Negroni Spritz or Limoncello Spritz awaits, accompanied by curated canapés. From here, the celebration continues as you move through to The Manor for a seated three-course Italian Long Lunch. Styled with ancient olive trees and framed by the estate's lush gardens, The Manor becomes an elegant nod to the Mediterranean—where there outdoors feels effortlessly brought in.
This seasonal collaboration brings together Balboa Italian's celebrated cuisine with The Valley Estate's signature refined elegance, creating a long lunch designed to linger.
Like every Italian family gather, there is always room for one more at the table. We look forward to welcoming you for an afternoon of food, atmosphere and connection at The Valley Estate.
All white. All afternoon. All the things we love.
