What do you really know about Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead)?

Far from being a Mexican version of Halloween, Día de los Muertos is a deeply rooted tradition of remembering and honouring those who have passed away. Families come together to celebrate their lives, prepare special foods, create colourful altars and share memories.

And mezcal has a special place in this tradition.

💀 Día de Muertos: More Than a Celebration

We'll also take a closer look at the traditions behind Día de Muertos, including:

• The meaning of the ofrenda (altar) and the objects placed on it.

• Why food and drinks are offered to loved ones who have passed away.

• The symbolism of marigolds, candles, photographs and calaveras.

• How Indigenous traditions and Catholic influences came together to create the celebration we know today.

• Why Día de Muertos is ultimately a celebration of life, memory and family, rather than a celebration of death.

Your ticket includes:

• 🍸 Welcome cocktail

• 🥃 Six certified mezcal tastings

• 🌮 Authentic Mexican tacos

• 🌽 Mexican tostadas

• 🇲🇽 A guided introduction to Mexican mezcal and Día de Muertos traditions

This is a relaxed and interactive experience—you don't need to be a mezcal expert or have any previous knowledge of Mexican culture.

Come with your curiosity, enjoy the food and mezcal, and discover the stories behind one of Mexico's most fascinating traditions.

Come for the mezcal. Stay for the stories, food and culture.
