Sure, you may have done impromptu tequila tastings at a bar - salt, slam it back, lemon, you're pretty, what was your name again? - but at our spirits tastings, it's actually not about, well, getting tipsy. We want you to know the tequila, understand the tequila, love it for what it is! Because tequila really gets a bad rap. It ain't just for Spring Break, friends. (But chances are you will leave a bit tipsy...)

When you make reservations for one of our upcoming Herradura tequila tastings, you'll be treated like a guest. You'll be given a cocktail while you mingle to start things off. You'll be seated with others who also want to know/understand/love tequila. Someone knowledgeable will introduce the spirit, talk about its history, explain what flavors you might taste. And then you'll start sippin'! It's fun. It's relaxed. You'll probably make some new best friends.

Along with the tequila, you will be served platters of delicious appetizers - yummy stuff like mango and papaya salad with serrano-lime vinaigrette, albacore tuna ceviche tostada with crème fraîche and cilantro, carne asada with black beans and flour tortillas and more! Trust us, you will not go hungry.

Call to make your reservations to one of our hotel's tequila tastings; at $40 a pop, it is great value. As always, we strongly suggest you book a room at the hotel so you don't have to worry about driving home. Or, there's always good ol' public transportation.
