The ultimate in fashion, food, and charity will be celebrated at the Dream Guild’s annual holiday luncheon Friday at 11:30 a.m. at Charlie Palmer South Coast Plaza. It’s a spectacular luncheon put on by the Dream Guild, a group of fashionable ladies committed to raising funds to eradicate type 1 diabetes through its support of JDRF.
The Dream Guild knows how to throw a fantastic festive event, and this one starts with a Champagne reception and holiday shopping at Montblanc at 10 a.m. There’s going to be amazing raffle items including designer bags, Jo Malone products, items from Neiman’s; and one lucky lady (or man) who purchases an opportunity drawing tickets will go home with a Montblanc timepiece from the
Princess Grace de Monaco Collection valued at $6,500.
Each guest will receive a beautiful fragrance donated by Montblanc as a holiday gift. While at the luncheon enjoy a delicious lunch starting with an appetizer choice of baby red oak salad or Tuscan white bean soup; main course choices include crisped skin Mary's Farm chicken with Black truffle gnocchi, sweet potato puree, roasted root vegetables, crispy salsify, and poultry jus; or slow poached Scottish Salmon with herb-bacon crust, Israeli couscous risotto, acorn squash, Brussels sprouts, red verjus vinaigrette; and 8 oz flat iron steak with blue cheese crust, herb potato rosti, and red wine jus. For dessert, enjoy a trio of chocolate moelleux, cheesecake tart and lemon guava tart.
