ONX on the Road: Winemaker Dinner at République

July 12 | 6:30pm - 9:00pm

We are excited to announce that our first On the Road for 2024 event is hosted at the highly-acclaimed République in the heart of Melrose, Los Angeles. We hope our Los Angeles locals can join us for this intimate evening with our Winemaker on Friday, July 12th. Seating is limited and expected to sell out.

République opened its doors in 2014, thanks to the dynamic wife and husband duo, Margarita and Walter Manzke. Chef Margarita was born and raised in the Philippines and grew up working in her family’s restaurant just outside of Manila. She went on to receive degrees from Le Cordon Bleu in London and the Culinary Institute of America in New York, afterward moving to Los Angeles. Chef Margarita has worked beside highly-ranked chefs such as Joachin Splichal at Patina, Wolfgang Puck at Spago, and Josiah Citrin at the two Michelin starred Mélisse. In 2007, she re-opened Bastide Restaurant as Pastry Chef, where she received a 3-star review from the Los Angeles Times. In 2014, along with her husband, Chef Walter, they opened République. In 2023, Chef Margarita won a James Beard Award for Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker for her work at République.

Chef Walter was born and raised in San Diego and began his relationship with food early on with the fresh produce that his family grew in their backyard. His passion for the culinary world led him to Patina, where he gained critical acclaim working alongside Joachin Splichal for nearly a decade. From there, he went on to work in five separate, three Michelin-star kitchens around the world. He’s worked alongside Chef Ferran Adria, Chef Thomas Keller, and Chef Alain Ducasse. In 2009, Chef Walter took over the kitchen at Church & State, earning rave reviews for his interpretation of French cuisine. December 2019 marked République’s five year anniversary in business.
