Elysian Nights is inspired by the night skies of the Mediterranean. At the elegant Bishop’s Lodge, gala-goers will mingle with old and new friends while sipping festive cocktails and sampling intriguingly delicious appetizers from the impressive Bishop’s Lodge culinary team. A superb three-course dinner with fine wines and entertainment will follow as the sun dips below the horizon and the sky becomes a dark, velvety canopy filled with twinkling stars.
