Learn about the little-known history of early winemaking in Los Angeles from Los Angeles native and food and culture historian Tom Sanchez during the Pasadena Senior Center’s 65th Anniversary Day.

By Katlyn Ong

Sanchez, also known for his local ‘MrLA’ walking tours of Los Angeles, will share the little-known history of winemaking in Los Angeles, including how the city became the birthplace of the modern American wine industry and a wine capital. He will also discuss how one LA winery, still in operation today, managed to stay open during prohibition when other local wineries closed.

The ‘History of Winemaking in Los Angeles’ event is a special presentation as part of PSC’s 65th Anniversary Day, which will celebrate the Center’s long-standing place in the San Gabriel Valley where older adults can age well while aging in place.

The event is free for Pasadena Senior Center members and $5 for non-members. To register or for more information, visit this website or call (626) 795-4331.
