Guess what? La Vigne is going to be in Harvest Ranch very soon! We love Harvest Ranch, they have such a great variety of gourmet foods you can't find just anywhere.

La Vigne to speak at Quail Gardens Festival

By now, everybody is familiar with the term organic. However the general public is still very unaware of biodynamic agriculture. La Vigne will be giving a lecture on the fundamentals of biodynamics, sort of an introduction if you will.

The lecture will be taking place during the Quail Botanical Gardens Tomatillo Festival in late March.
Stay tuned for more details on the time and date!

Foodies On Foot- Little Italy San Diego


Want to get an insider's view of the Mercato and of other nearby artisan food businesses? Laura Massoni Travel is offering Foodies on Foot Tours every Saturday in February. Destinations will vary but they all start with a tour of the Little Italy Farmers' Market. On February 6th, the tour will also include a gelato-making lecture (with samples, of course), and bread, cheese, coffee and chocolate demos. Tickets are available at Foodies on Foot Reserve now!
