On Mother's Day weekend, Saturday, May 11th, 2024, Mike Morales and Alexander Pèrez will introduce you to Valor Tequila. Valor works with a celebrated family-owned distillery (NOM 1599) in Tequila to harvest agave that has matured after 6 years to benefit local ecosystems. The agave that makes Valor is hand-harvested by people who are paid living wages with access to healthcare and education.
Celebrate Mother's Day weekend and join us for a special afternoon, and experience these fine tequilas and meet the Founder, CEO, and brand owner, Christiane Maertens, and her amazing team. A mini mixology class will demo how to make a special Mother's Day cocktail from scratch with Valor Tequila. And yes you will get to taste it! Appetizers will be included.
"Valor isn’t just an exceptional additive-free tequila. We respect the artisans of the spirit at every stage of production. From the tireless dedication of Jornaleros who tend to the agave year after year, to the skillful Jimadores who harvest it; and, to the family-owned distillery with generations of care and practice. Our commitment to this purpose goes beyond words – it’s ingrained in our business ethos. With 10% of every bottle purchased reinvested in the community, we are driven to support and celebrate the individuals and ecosystems that make our tequila possible."
