South African w**e. Southern hospitality. One unforgettable evening.

There’s something special about bringing people together around a beautiful bottle of w**e, a thoughtfully prepared table, and the simple art of making people feel welcome.

On October 24, Atlanta gets to experience that spirit as we celebrate the official launch of the House of Henkel W**e Society — Atlanta Chapter and my formal inauguration as Atlanta Chapter Matriarch.

Expect exceptional South African w**es, chef-curated cuisine, Old Hollywood glamour, live entertainment, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to linger a little longer.

Come sip. Savor. Celebrate.

SPECIAL VIP GUEST

I’m incredibly honored to welcome DeeDee Trotter as a Special VIP Guest for An Evening in Old Hollywood.

An Olympic champion who once pursued excellence on the track, DeeDee now brings that same passion, discipline, and pursuit of excellence into the culinary world through Taste of Gold Bakery.

And her brand says it perfectly:

GREATNESS HAS A TASTE.

And that’s why having DeeDee join us for An Evening in Old Hollywood feels especially fitting.

Because this evening is about more than w**e.

It’s about excellence. Creativity. Storytelling. Culture. Connection. And the people who bring their gifts to the table.

South African w**e. Southern hospitality. One unforgettable evening.
