Summer called—it wants you in the gardens at Barra!

Grab your crew (yes, kids and dogs too!) and head to Barra of Mendocino for Grab A Bite Night . We’re turning the lawn into your favorite neighborhood hangout—with delicious wine, really good food, and live music too! We’ll have a rotating lineup of local food trucks serving up can’t-miss bites, live music to set the vibe, and plenty of wine by the glass or bottle. We’ve got non-alcoholic options for the kiddos, too—everyone’s invited to the party. Bring your lawn chairs, your coziest picnic blanket, and your appetite. Stay for the sunset, linger for the music, and don’t be surprised if “just one hour” turns into the whole evening!

Food / Wine / Music / Friends — the way summer should be.

Grow, Sprout, Grow!
