With Valentine’s Day just around the corner,what a wonderful time to get acquainted with wines from the Hispanic Vintners Alliance.
Many of the best wines produced in California (from planting to final product) belong to a new wave of Hispanic vintners. They are producing their own wine and redefining their role in the wine industry.
Join us as a panel of Hispanic enthusiasts, experts and entrepreneurs in the California wine industry discuss the challenges of entering the competitive American wine market, their positions as role models for the younger generation and how wine consumption among Latinos has influenced larger wine companies to rethink their marketing initiatives.
Enjoy tasting Hispanic Vintners Alliance wines paired with chocolate treats following the discussion.
