The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel’s monthly cocktail party for canines and their companions, returns this season to much local acclaim. Dapper dogs, haute hounds and classy canines party with other pups and pooches and lap up libations such as bacon, chicken, and beef-infused water and the ever popular house-made dog biscuits, while their companions relax with a glass of Mutt Lynch Unleashed Chardonnay, Merlot Over and Play Dead, or Chateau d’Og Cabernet Sauvignon. Cocktails, beer and a savory selection of barbecue items are also available for purchase. As part of the resort’s Community Footprints program, proceeds from Yappy Hour will once again benefit The Veterans Initiative™ of Canine Companions for Independence.
Mark your calendar and make a date with your best four-legged friend.
