Item Description

Join us at Dinner on the Pacific Plate September 10 to place your bid on this LIVE auction item:

Invite up to three lucky friends to join you for an adventure of a lifetime.  You'll start with an amazing helicopter ride over the Golden Gate Bridge and out towards the coast of Point Reyes National Seashore hosted by San Francisco Helicopter Tours out of Mill Valley.  Your flock of friends will get a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the peninsula from a bird's-eye view and you'll see why this peninsula is called an island in time and how the San Andreas Fault continues to shape our unique park.  After your flight, you'll check into your historic 2-bedroom suite at Cavallo Point: the Lodge at the Golden Gate, where you and your guests will dine at the Michelin-star restaurant, Murray Circle.

Cavallo Point's Murray Circle, under the direction of Executive Chef Justin Everett, is one of the Bay Area's top culinary destinations. You and your guests will enjoy refined modern Northern California cuisine anchored to its Marin roots, and the freshest local ingredients. Settle into the elegant, yet comfortable dining room accented with beautifully restored tin ceilings, fine art photography and cozy fireplaces. Outside, soak up the sun on plush outdoor seating on the historic porch, with sweeping views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge.

After dinner, relax in the comfort of your spacious suite, complete with the finest amenities, cozy sitting areas and organic linens.  These historic buildings – formerly officers' residences – are located on expansive green space encircling the parade ground with hillside or San Francisco skyline views. You won't be disappointed.

The highest bidder will receive a copy of Harold Gilliam's Island in Time: The Point Reyes Peninsula and a special print of the Point Reyes National Seashore from aerial photographer Robert Campbell.
