Description

Join me on a unique tasting experience for a taste of the real Mexico! I open my doors (and cellar) to share some of my favorite curated selection of craft tequilas and mezcals from small independent producers. During our 2.5 hours tasting, you’ll learn all about what sets tequila and mezcal apart and explore different regions. A typical Mexican dinner will be served as well as refreshments and suggested pairings. The tasting will take place in my own tasting room which only opens on demand - El Tapatio Educational Tasting Room (it's not a bar nor a commercial space). My goal is to introduce guests to Mexico’s spirits in an intimate and relaxed space and share my culture with new people. Some of my best travel experiences involved a shared bottle with strangers and this is exactly the kind of unpretentious vibe I want to offer. The tasting includes only 100% additive-free spirits and features my personal favorites. You will taste 6 different tequilas as well as 5 mezcals (rotating selection based on availability / new findings). All spirits are sourced from family-owned brands who maintain sustainable practices. Servings will be in specialized glassware to enhance your tasting experience. A few notes: All spirits offered are additive-free and highly regarded by industry professionals. Nothing mass-produced is offered, only brands I know maintain a sustainable process and high-quality standards. I don’t work for any of the brands offered and don’t have an agenda to push a specific label, I only include spirits I have personally tasted and enjoy!

Includes

We’ll discuss the history of both tequila and mezcal, their respective making process and how best to appreciate them. You’ll enjoy six tequilas from the traditional distillery Cascahuin founded 1904 and currently run by the 4th generation of the family. Find your favorite between blanco, reposado, añejo, extra añejo, Tahona and Plata 48%. We’ll take a break with dinner before setting the stage for mezcal. The selection rotates based on my newest findings, but you are guaranteed to taste 5 different agave varietals. Servings will be in specialized glassware to enhance your tasting experience. We’ll wrap the experience by preparing a signature cocktail which you can replicate at home.
