About this Event

Mezcal 101

Join us for an immersive journey into the world of mezcal, Mexico’s most complex and storied spirit. In this introductory class, you'll explore the fundamentals of mezcal production, from its deep-rooted traditions to the diverse agave varieties that shape its flavors.

Through a guided tasting of five complimentary samples, you'll learn how factors like terroir, agave species, and production techniques influence taste and aroma. We'll discuss the key differences between mezcal and tequila, traditional vs. modern production methods, and how to properly taste and appreciate this artisanal spirit.

Whether you're new to mezcal or looking to expand your knowledge, this class will give you the foundation to navigate the world of mezcal with confidence. Come sip, learn, and discover what makes mezcal truly unique!
