TVR Exclusives

Looking back in reflection of 2018, our team did some pretty amazing, creative and downright cool things. From exploring the frozen wonderland of Wyoming to celebrating each team birthday in a very TVR way to checking out a lot of new venue, hotel and restaurant openings – we've been busy. Some moments called for an on-the-go snap, others called for a full-blown photoshoot and some just live in our memories.
We gathered up some of our favorite team moments of 2018 to share with you and as a beautiful reminder to ourselves of what we've accomplished in a very fast, very busy year. We look forward into 2019 with optimism, excitement and an eagerness for new adventures and gatherings because after all, these moments are all about connecting with those around you.

As summer is ramping up and the temperature continues to climb, whisperings of a ‘tropical vacation’ or ‘Mediterranean getaway’ start swirling in the air. When hopping on the next flight to the coast of Italy isn’t an option, enter Élephante Beach House, a new Mediterranean inspired rooftop restaurant in the heart of Santa Monica overlooking the ocean.
Dreamt up by designer and restaurateur Nick Mathers – known for fellow LA hotspots Eveleigh, Goldie’s and Little Ruby – Élephante Beach House is a culmination of his global travels brought to Southern California. We were invited for a sneak peak of the restaurant, to sample what’s to come on the food and drink menus, and experience the beauty of the Mediterranean in Los Angeles.
