About

Develop a new appreciation for Mexico’s national drink with tequila specialist Ricardo, who has travelled across the country to study tequila’s origins and to sample its subtleties. Either join Ricardo in a location downtown or host the tasting at your own villa as a sophisticated addition to a dinner party or as a stand-alone event. There are three tastings to suit all types of tequila drinkers. 

1. The Tequila Curious
A great way for someone who’s new to tequila (or those that have only encountered it as a shot at a party) to learn more about this amazing liquor. What is agave? What’s the difference between blancos and reposados? What should one be looking for in a quality tequila? You’ll start with clear tequilas, look at what pairs up for mixing and move on to some more aged amber varieties for sipping. Advance from a novice to an expert in an hour.

2. The Connoisseur
For those that are already family with tequila, you can fine tune your appreciation for the nectar of the Gods. Compare bodies and bouquets. Sip some artisanal varieties, smoky dark anejos and exclusive extra anejos. Your guide will surprise you with some hidden gems discovered on his travels. This tasting lasts around an hour and a half.
3. The Mezcalero
It’s not hallucinogenic and doesn’t always come with a worm, Mezcal: Tequila’s smoky, mysterious, cool uncle. Despite Mezcal’s growing popularity in the liquor and cocktail scene, much of the product never even makes it to US or Canada due to trade restrictions and small batch quantities. This is your opportunity to try something new and see why this artisanal drink is receiving so much attention. This tasting lasts around an hour and half.
