LA: Día de los Muertos Virtual Tasting Event

 





Join us on Sunday, November 1st at 5pm PT for a special virtual tasting event to celebrate Día de los Muertos and shine a light on both Mexican-American winemakers and Mexican wine. 


Día de los Muertos is a festival of color and a festival for the senses, but it is also a very spiritual tradition for the Latin American community, particularly in Mexican and Mexican American cultures. As part of a two day celebration, the living honor and celebrate the spirit of their deceased loved ones with objects and activities they enjoyed in life such as food, drink, and music.


 

California’s wine and agricultural history are intertwined with the Mexican experience. The fingerprints of migrant workers, as well as their vibrant and rich customs, can be found across the state’s wine regions and landscape. Over time, some of these migrant families set roots in their own California vineyards and established their own wine brands thereby bringing their knowledge, culture and passion to America’s table. 


In honor of this rich heritage, Women for WineSense Los Angeles wants to celebrate in Día de los Muertos and highlight wines not only produced by Mexican American women in Napa, but also introduce our members and friends to the emerging wine scene in Mexico’s own Valle de Guadalupe. The evening will include a special guest appearance by Mexican-American, Napa-based vintner, Lola Llamas.


Sign-up by Friday 10/30 to receive complimentary local delivery of your Día de los Muertos package, which includes: 

  • Two full bottles of wine:

    • 2016 Llamas Family Chardonnay (Carneros) 

    • 2018 Rojo 126 Red Blend (Valle de Guadalupe)

  • Altar starter kit with instructions to honor your own loved ones through drink, food and light
