Chef Todd Bencivenni will be featuring a new twist on Vistal's sustainable and locally sourced menu for 2022, and will be kicking off this event with small bites during a welcome reception paired with Gray Whale Gin cocktails. Following the reception, a three course dinner will be served at Vistal with video and educational speakers from WILDCOAST and Xplore Offshore to honor the gentle giants.
