About this Event

Celebrate DC’s iconic Cherry Blossom Festival with an exclusive Mezcal Tasting Dinner at Paraíso, in collaboration with Xicaru Mezcal!

Xicaru, the Zapotec word for beautiful, reflects founder Fernando Santibañez’s passion for sharing traditionally crafted mezcal that is both approachable and distinct. Made in small batches using his grandmother’s recipe, Xicaru is produced with time-honored methods at a palenque in Matatlán, Oaxaca.

This one-night-only experience will feature a carefully curated mezcal pairing, highlighting the vibrant flavors of the season. To end the evening on a perfect note, guests will enjoy a Cherry Mezcal Negroni, a special cocktail crafted just for the occasion.

Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of spring, mezcal, and the beauty of cherry blossoms!
