Modern Latina and Dulce Vida Travel are excited to bring to you a unique evening celebrating the beautiful, rich culture of España.
Guests will mingle in an outdoor garden setting while enjoying culinary delights and wine by Carmen San Miguel Imports that is sourced exclusively from the mountains of Granada, Spain.

They will be pouring a variety of different wines for guests to sample the flavors from the Granada.
