Ping & Woof: Dinner with Donizetti
$20
- Deac Guidi, bass-baritone
- Zachary Lenox, baritone
- Esteban José Zúñiga, tenor
- Jocelyn Claire Thomas, soprano

Villa Catalana Cellars is excited to partner again with Ping & Woof Opera, Sunday, September 11th at 5:30pm for an evening of opera and fine wines in our gardens.
In the past, we've included dinner with the opera. We're experimenting with a different format to keep this event more affordable for everyone. Instead of providing dinner we're encouraging people to bring their own picnic dinner. Grab your picnic basket (don't forget your wine glasses) and join us, as 5 musicians from Ping & Woof sing your favorite arias. We'll have wine for purchase by the bottle and chairs available as well.
Limited reservations available; tickets are non-refundable.
Please take note of the following policies before purchasing your tickets:
1. Refunds are not available, but you can transfer to another person in the event you cannot attend.
2. Please NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL.
3. Food and wine are NOT included. To keep costs low we ask that you please supply your own wine glasses and pack out any trash.
4. The event will be held rain or shine under our covered grape arbor or our amphitheater (weather permitting). Please bring or wear the appropriate attire.
Please direct all questions to us by email at: reservations@villacatalanacellars.com
