Discover Bermuda with G&G

Event highlights include a boating experience around the islands, a private dinner at the members-only Coral Beach and Tennis Club, an architectural tour of historic St. George with Matt Lee and Ted Lee, a surprise performance by the local Gombey dancers, and an unforgettable dinner created by chef Marcus Samuelsson and The Lee Bros. followed by a live performance from Nashville singer-songwriter Jessie Baylin.
