Sometimes the most transcendent culinary moments come from the simplest ingredients. By introducing thermal variation to our avocados with a hot cast-iron grill, we can perfect the ultimate guacamole for artisan toast and other vibrant presentations. When you craft your menu with intention, even the simplest appetizers take on the profound elegance of the Estate.

The Master Hand

The afternoon sun casting long shadows across the patio signals that it is time to gather the neighbors. Laughter echoes around the courtyard as large stone mortars filled with vibrant green avocados, freshly squeezed citrus, and torn cilantro become the absolute centerpiece of the afternoon. Let the warmth of the season and the bright citrus notes carry the party deep into the evening.
