Most of us interpreted the Gala Dinner as something formal so most of the women changed into something fabulous with matching high heels Christian Louboutin shoes. Yun pala we’re going to walk on cobbled pathways, wasak ang shoes.
We were told that this place is very private and only those close to the owners or very special dignitaries get to be invited in receptions here. We’re privileged.
Cocktails were served on the veranda overlooking the vineyard. My children’s eyes and skin became reddish right away after a sip or two. Hinayaan ko na nga so they could truly enjoy our wine tasting tour.
There’s a huge aluminum ball that’s clearly the center of attraction. Strange as it is because we expected everything would be organic here, there’s a high tech work of art installed here to entertain and owe the owners’ guests.
Lovely roses and cattleya on dinner tables
