The San Antonio Winery: It's Tequila Time!
In spite of being well off the beaten path, the San Antonio Winery has long been a destination for locals and tourists alike. Now in addition to their famous tour, popular restaurant, banquet facilities and wine shop, the winery is offering special events.
Last night A Summer Tequila Tasting was held at the winery. In addition to innovative and delicious food and a wide array of quality tequilas, guests were treated to an informative lecture. The farming of agave, distillation and aging of the spirits, and tasting tips were presented by Alfonso Lujan of 100% Tequila Magazine and Michael Papalia of San Antonio Winery. The next event will be "Wines from Down Under" presented Sunday July 12 from noon until 3pm.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
