Sofía Vergara has launched a new business venture with her son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara. The mother-son duo celebrated the debut of their culinary brand, Toma, with a lavish party at Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails in Los Angeles on Friday, June 7.
The 51-year-old Colombian actress looked stunning in a black semi-sheer dress with intricate embellishments. Manolo, 32, complemented his mother's elegance, donning a dapper navy blue suit. During the event, Sofía was photographed holding one of Toma's products and a martini garnished with olives, capturing the festive spirit of the evening.
Toma was founded by Sofía, Manolo, and hospitality executive Sam Nazarian. According to the brand's website, their mission is to "share the best of Latin cuisine with the world," bringing authentic flavors and culinary traditions to a broader audience.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE for the May Beautiful issue, Sofía shared her excitement about working with her son and her hopes for the future. Although she's currently his business partner, she looks forward to a new role—becoming a grandmother. "I think I'll be a fun grandmother," Sofía remarked, jokingly adding that she already has some practice. Manolo often drops off his dog at her house on weekends, reminiscent of how she used to leave Manolo with her mom when he was younger.
Reflecting on her relationship with Manolo, Sofía expressed her pride and joy in seeing him grow into a successful entrepreneur. Manolo's father is Sofía's high school sweetheart, Joe Gonzalez, highlighting a family deeply rooted in strong bonds and shared aspirations.
The launch of Toma marks an exciting chapter for Sofía and Manolo, combining their passion for Latin cuisine with their entrepreneurial spirit. Fans eagerly anticipate the flavors and experiences Toma will bring, celebrating not just a business but a shared love for their cultural heritage.
