Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm

“Dos Pueblos,” meaning “Two Villages,” was named by Juan Cabrillo, who landed along this stretch of coastline in 1542, where the Mikiw and Kutamu tribes had settled on both sides of the canyon. What was once the largest orchid farm in the world is now a stunning 50-acre property rich with history, known for its glorious glass-paned greenhouse, and an awe-inducing view of the Pacific. What a magnificent place to dine al fresco. Especially when chef Jason Neroni is in the field kitchen. After spending time in some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens including Le Cirque and El Bulli, he opened several successful spots of his own across the West Coast before settling in at The Rose. There, he’s known for globally inspired Southern California cuisine sourced from an abundance of area farms.
