Support conservation of the magnificent gray whale with an evening of cocktails, dinner and sweeping views of the coastline at Intercontinental San Diego’s signature venue, Vistal. On Saturday, January 29 from 4:30p.m. to 8:00p.m., Vistal is delighted to collaborate with aligned partners Gray Whale Gin, WILDCOAST and Xplore Offshore to support what they find inspiration most from - the California and Baja Coast. 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. Vistal’s ambience and menu are driven by a respect for the coast, making it the ideal spot to watch the sunset over the bay as the grey whales begin their winter migration in the ocean beyond. Tickets are $170 per person and 20% of all ticket revenue will go directly to WILDCOAST in support of their gray whale conservation along the Pacific Coast. Prizes will be raffled off for all ticket holders, including a hotel stay, Xplore Offshore whale watching tour, and more.
