Join us for a relaxed, conversational wine class focused on summer-friendly wines from Mexico, specifically from Valle de Guadalupe. We’ll taste light, refreshing whites, rosés, and chillable reds made in Baja California’s most important wine region. Valle de Guadalupe is known for its Mediterranean climate, cooling coastal influence, and innovative winemakers crafting wines perfect for warm weather and ideally suited to pair with the fresh seafood found throughout Baja. This class is about more than tasting. It’s a plática about culture, history, and how wine fits into everyday life. No wine rules, no pressure, just good conversation, and good wine. Come sip, learn, and celebrate summer through the wines of Valle de Guadalupe. Guest speakers, Gil and Eloisa of Vinos Los Angeles.
GUEST SPEAKERS:
Eloisa and Gil’s journey with wine began more than a decade ago on a bike—literally! Their regular trips to Baja for the Rosarito–Ensenada 50-mile rides sparked a deep love for the region, its people, and its spirit. That connection grew into something lasting when they built a home in Baja and started exploring the nearby Valle de Guadalupe. There, surrounded by vineyards and passionate winemakers, they discovered a community and wines that captured what the region is about. Wanting to share that experience with their friends back home, they founded Vinos Los Angeles—a way to bring the beauty and authenticity of Baja’s wines to L.A. Today, they continue importing and distributing Baja wines in the U.S. market, proudly representing the region and the friendships that inspired it all.
