Dior’s goal was to create a quintessential California ranch inspired experience for their Cruise collection with a farewell farm-to-table lunch in the canyons of Malibu. Effortlessly chic wood tables with vases of hand-picked California wildflowers arranged in glass vases amongst an unforgettably magical setting of luxurious ranch life – if there was ever one. One Gun Ranch – formerly the estate of Guns ‘n Roses lead singer, purchased by biodynamic British farm family. That’s a California story, if ever there was one. Guests were shuttled down nature paths on open-air Jeeps and greeted by hand-selected servers offering bloody mary’s, plant-forward appetizers all inspired by the Malibu Ranch. We created a feast, grilled on open fire and proteins carefully wisped with branches of wild rosemary and local olive oil. Biodynamic ingredients were served family style and included grilled vegetables, farmer’s vegetable salad, California sanddabs, organic garnet yams and finished with family style strawberry pies.
