The 4-course Agave Harvest Dinner, created by Executive Chef Steven Patlan, promises to be an immersive evening celebrating the rich traditions of agave, tequila, and mezcal, blending education, entertainment, and exceptional cuisine. Timed to coincide with National Agave Day (July 23) and National Tequila Day (July 24), the Agave Dinner highlights the agave plant’s cultural significance and deep roots in Indigenous traditions.
The evening opens with a vibrant performance by Mayahuel Aztec Dancers, setting the tone for an unforgettable celebration.
