Sip, Shop & Culture
Join us for one—or all—of our four summer gatherings at our Sip, Shop & Culture community events! Nothing beats a magical summer evening at New Leaf Nursery, where nature meets art. Wander through the nursery grounds where you can admire the work of local artists, sip on delicious wine, and indulge in a charcuterie selection from local winery, Rosemary Manor.
Each of our Sip, Shop & Culture events will feature a different local band, bringing fresh energy and unique sounds to every gathering. We’re kicking off the series with the smooth, soulful rhythms of Balboa Park, a Latin jazz band that’s quickly making a name for themselves in the local music scene. Their rich, melodic grooves will fill the nursery grounds, creating an unforgettable ambiance as you stroll through garden pathways, admire local art, and sip on your favorite wine.
Whether you're here to find inspiration, discover one-of-a-kind pieces, or simply unwind with a glass of wine, we welcome you to join us. It's the perfect opportunity to support our local artisan community and mingle with fellow art lovers.
Can’t make it to our first event? No worries! We’ve got three more lined up this summer. Check the dates below for all the details.
