Primavera in the Gardens

Today we spent the day with our respective host families and I was lucky enough to attend the annual Primavera in the Gardens which is a fundraising event presented by the Friends of the University of California Riverside Botanical Gardens.

There was a great selection of wines from the area, including wineries we visited in Temecula such as Faulkner and Thornton. In addition delicious food was provided by good local restaurants.

As well as the fantastic food and wine (and beer) the gardens were very beautiful with more than 3,500 plant species from around the world.

See below a photo of my host Marion enjoying the fabulous food!
