Raise a glass with Rioja as we toast the start of the Los Angeles Wine & Food Festival! As the Official Wine Sponsor of the LAWFF Kickoff Party, Rioja will welcome culinary and beverage professionals for an unforgettable evening at The Conservatory at Hotel Casa del Mar in Santa Monica.

This exclusive, trade-only event sets the stage for the festival weekend—bringing together chefs, sommeliers, buyers, distributors, and media for a night of connection, conversation, and celebration. Guests will enjoy a curated tasting of Rioja’s most exceptional wines, showcasing the region’s dynamic range and timeless craftsmanship.

From bold Tempranillos to crisp whites and elegant rosados, Rioja will pour the best of Spain’s flagship wine region—each glass telling a story 100 years in the making.

Join us for a night where industry meets inspiration, where Spain’s finest wines meet California’s creative energy, and where the LAWFF weekend begins—with Rioja at the heart of it all.

Salud to the trade. See you at Casa del Mar.
