Join us for a day trip to Temecula. We’ll start by meeting at Ricardo Breceda’s Art Gallery in Aguanga at 10 AM – the artist who created the monumental metal sculptures in the Anza-Borrego Desert. The entrance fee is $10/person.
After the gallery, we’ll drive to Robert Renzoni Vineyards, with breathtaking De Portola Valley views, for wine tasting and lunch at noon at Mama Rosa’s Trattoria.
After lunch, we can drive to western-themed Old Town Temecula to explore the shops and grab a few more photos.
The meeting will start promptly at 7 pm, but we’ll open the building at 6 pm for setup and social hour.

Join us for a presentation on Janet Sternburg’s “Looking at Mexico / Mexico Looks Back,” which combines a visually stunning collection of photographs and a thought-provoking conversation with José Alberto Romano Romero, a local friend of Sternburg’s. This bilingual collaboration in photography and words across the Mexican/USA border will take you on a journey of transformation and understanding. Renowned for her evocative work, Sternburg’s unique perspective, shaped by over two decades in Mexico, captures its essence authentically. Her refusal of digital manipulation adds rawness to her imagery, complemented by a poetic bilingual dialogue. A brief Q&A will follow the presentation.
Join Darkroomers members for a lovely evening at Windandsea! We’ll be focusing on WAVES for our 2nd Quarter Theme.
We’ll meet at 4:30 PM above the tiki hut, then have ample time to explore and take photos before sunset (7:37 PM). Low tide is at 4:03 PM, so the tide will be on its way back in (high tide is at 10:23).
Dinner at Mandarin House to follow.
