✨ An Intimate Evening of Modern Etiquette & Hosting
A Redwood Social Event
In collaboration with Sara Vizcarrondo, Founder of Academy of Ballet and Etiquette
Hosted by Kendra Thompson
📍 Lexington Hills Estate · Los Gatos
Join us for a thoughtfully curated evening where modern etiquette meets the art of hosting — an experience rooted in warmth, presence, and the language of welcome.
Presented by Redwood Social and led in collaboration with etiquette educator Sara Vizcarrondo, this gathering is designed to feel intimate, meaningful, and deeply human.
Set within the breathtaking Lexington Hills Estate, a private mansion tucked into the hills of Los Gatos, guests will be welcomed into a space rarely open to the public. Chosen with intention, the home itself becomes part of the experience — because the most meaningful lessons around hosting, presence, and connection are best felt, not just taught.
This is not a traditional etiquette class.
And it’s not simply a dinner.
It’s an evening centered on how we gather, how we host, and how we make others feel — lessons that extend far beyond the table.
With an intimate group of just 14 guests, Sara will guide the evening with a modern, approachable perspective on etiquette — focusing less on rigid rules and more on social ease and fluency:
• Moving comfortably in social and dining settings
• Hosting with intention and quiet confidence
• Attending gatherings with grace and presence
• Understanding hospitality as a shared language of care
Alongside the experience, guests will enjoy a seasonal, thoughtfully prepared meal hosted by Kendra Thompson:
Champagne welcome + private tour of the estate grounds
Warm white bean vegetable soup
Seasonal salad with homemade sourdough croutons
Chocolate-forward dessert
Paired with wines from Halter Ranch, selected to complement the meal while keeping the experience light, elegant, and inviting.
The table will be styled with curated Annieglass, natural textures, florals, and candlelight — creating an atmosphere that feels elevated yet welcoming, refined yet deeply comfortable.
✨ This evening is for those who:
• Appreciate beautiful spaces and thoughtful details
• Want to feel more confident in social and dining settings
• Prefer intimate gatherings over large events
• Are drawn to experiences that feel intentional, not performative
