AltaMed's premier fundraiser, East LA Meets Napa, is celebrating 12 years! East LA Meets Napa & La Rioja will take us on a journey through time, 2000 years in the making, as we experience food and wine from the quaint wine regions of Spain. The event takes place outdoors on a warm summer evening at our new location at L.A. Live, in the heart of Downtown LA. The perfect setting for the 2000 guests who enjoy trekking their way past their favorite food and wine stations. Latino owners, chefs, and representatives from 40 restaurants and 40 wineries showcase their wonderful food and wines.
This event includes a VIP pre-event Tasting Room, a brief program, live entertainment including OZOMATLI and Pancho Sanchez, dancing, all the food you can eat, all the wine you can drink, and a surprise or two! Top sponsors enjoy the comfort of their very own private VIP reception areas. In addition, AltaMed will once again be providing a Celebrity Lounge hosted by several celebrities throughout the evening. This exclusive lounge is a great way to relax on lounge seating, mingle with other guests and VIP's and enjoy the refreshments and entertainement throughout the night.
