About this Event
Sangria Social - Support Local Women & Drink Well
Join us for a fun in-person gathering where you can savor delicious sangria and support local women owned businesses. It's the perfect chance to mingle, enjoy great drinks, and connect with awesome people.
The night kicks off with a hands-on sangria making class led by Keyatta from Pictures & Cocktails, a local female master mixologist. You'll learn to pick the wine, prep the fruit, and build the perfect pour, then enjoy what you made for the rest of the evening. Mocktail options will be available!
Along the way, you'll meet the women behind three Atlanta businesses, take a walk through the history of Portuguese ceramics with the owners of Olaria, and get entered in a raffle full of travel related prizes.
Don't miss out on this one-time social event in West Midtown Atlanta. Come drink well and show some love for the community!

About Your Hosts:
Cherish Tours
Megan is your co-host for the evening with 10+ years of experience in the hospitality world that she brings to the room. She is the Founder of Cherish, a small group travel company designed to support local women's economies around the world.
Pictures and Cocktails
Keyatta is your mixologist and co-host for the evening with a background in modeling and two decades in the hospitality world working in boutique hotels and fine dining. She often says a great drink is more than a recipe. It's a reflection of who you are, what you love, and how you gather. She brings this vision to her non-profit and to Pictures & Cocktails.
Olaria
Olaria is our venue host for the evening, a West Midtown ceramics shop owned by Edward Costa and Jane Dapkus. Everything inside is sold by the pound, rescued as surplus and slight seconds from potteries across Europe, a nod to Ed's Portuguese heritage. Their motto says it best, minor flaws, major charm.
Bad Bitch Book Club, Georgia Chapter
Bad Bitch Book Club creates a space for women to meet and connect with one another, through reading and through real life. The Georgia Chapter is bringing that same spirit to Sangria Social as our community host.
