An Evening in Barcelona - Saturday, August 1st Benefiting the Morris Animal Foundation

Becca and I lived in Barcelona from 2011 – 2014 and fell in love with the city, the people, the food, the art and architecture, the drink – everything about the lifestyle. 

We learned to slow down a bit – and take the time to really savor the freshness of seasonal food, the complexities of wine and how it varied by grape and region, and to be honest, we relearned the art of meaningful conversation.

I received an early introduction to many of these things from Sam Lardner, a long-time expat in Barcelona to whom I was introduced to by a mutual friend.

Sam invited me to lunch – it was going to be a special lunch in Vallgorguina at the “masia” of a chef – with several chefs and winemakers in attendance. The food from multiple chefs – all of whom brought their “A game” to impress the others. My first introduction to great Cava, great Priorats, and what Gin Tonic culture is all about.

Now we'd like to invite you to join us for “An Evening in Barcelona” as a fundraiser for the Morris Animal Foundation Saturday, August 1st on Golden Dog Farm where we hope to introduce you to many of our favorite things from our time in Spain and help the Morris Animal Foundation find a cure for canine cancer.

You'll enjoy all of the following in the company of the Butternut Goldens from the World Famous Golden Retriever Experience. 

• Live Music from Barcelona-based Fusion Quintet - Sam Lardner & Barcelona

• A Menu of Tapas 

• After a welcome glass of Cava, a selection of Spanish Wines and Beers will be available for purchase! 

All enjoyed in an Incomparable Vermont Setting with Uninterrupted Views of the Green Mountains.

Saturday, August 1st 7:00p. Band starts playing at 8:30p

$249/Person (Includes applicable Vermont State Tax) with the proceeds going to the Morris Animal Foundation.
