NEW YORK, NY – October 16, 2017 - To celebrate the beginning of fall entertaining, Stella Artois and Golden Globe-winning actress Gina Rodriguez launched today an exclusive video from Gina’s housewarming party in her first Los Angeles home.
Gina and the iconic Belgian brand joined forces to share the actress’ hosting expertise through the exclusive video, which debuts today on a Stella Artois-owned destination page on NYTimes.com, NYTimes.com/StellaArtois.

“This celebration couldn’t come at a better time – I just moved into my first house in Los Angeles and I couldn’t think of a better way to commemorate this huge occasion than with a housewarming party with my closest friends and family and capture the moment in this video,” said Gina. “Hosting my loved ones in my new home over a delicious menu paired with Stella Artois has made this experience all the more exciting – this is the start of creating some amazing new memories!”
