ABOUT THE HOSTS

David Kemmerer, Cultivamos – David has been a wine professional in Atlanta for 21 years.  The last 13 of which he has focused on importing wines from the Iberian Peninsula.  David has traveled extensively, for work and pleasure, in Portugal over the last decade to dig deeper into the story of all Portugal has to offer. He will lead a wine tasting, sprinkled with some olive oil, and teach about the History, Geography, Climate, and Geology of Portugal; and how all these work together to impact the flavors you will taste.  

Chef Henry Tapia, Director of F&B at Epicurean Atlanta – Chef Tapia, who oversees all culinary operations for Epicurean Atlanta, brings over 10 years of experience working in the finest hotel kitchens on both the East and West Coast. Prior to that, he spent a decade in the central region of Mexico, specifically Puebla, where he worked at his mother’s restaurant and cultivated a passion for cooking from the heart with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients – this same passion influenced his approach to Epicurean Atlanta’s culinary excellence.  

About Cultivamos – We are rooted in importing wine and olive oil, but Cultivamos (“we cultivate” in Portuguese) is more than just a name. It summarizes what we’re all about: nurturing growth, connection, curiosity and learning while always keeping the future—of our business, our people, and our planet—top of mind. Bringing people together through food and wine while supporting social and environmental sustainability is a value we communicate through our portfolio from Esporão.
