Plática y Prueba: Savor the Flavors of Fall Through Mexican Wine

Join us for our Fall Wine Plática, a relaxed, conversational wine class focused on Mexican wines from the Mexican wine valley. Perfect for fall evenings, friends’ gatherings, or seasonal celebrations. The curated lineup includes reds, whites, and sparkling wines to elevate any occasion from Thanksgiving feasts to Christmas dinners and New Year’s toasts. Learn about wine production methods and the rich history of these regions while savoring wines that capture the warmth and flavors of fall. Come sip, learn, and celebrate the season with us! Guest speakers: Gil and Eloisa of Vinos Los Angeles and Thomas Egli. 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. Parking Planning your visit?
