Fashion shows and lunches at Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga

The Montalvo Service Group, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, is hosting another series of Wednesday lunches at the historic villa at the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga during July and August. The lunches, which started in 1977, are catered by Cafe Primavera and reflect the cuisine of different nations — along with a vegetarian option each week.

It starts off with “An Afternoon in France” on July 10 and continues the world tour with South of the Border Fusion (July 17), Lunch on the Italian Riviera (July 24), Asian Fusion (July 31), Main Street USA (Aug. 7) and Escape to Greece (Aug. 14). There are seatings at noon, 12:30 and 1 p.m. and lunches cost $70 each, with each including a fashion show and proceeds helping to maintain the villa and its grounds.
