Calling all tequila & mezcal lovers! Sip and savor a curated selection of premium spirits – ranging from crisp, unaged blancos and smooth reposados to complex añejos and artisanal, small-batch mezcals – at our inaugural Tequila & Mezcal Stroll. The fun happens Friday, September 25 from 6:00-9:00pm.
The Alameda Strolls are a great way to discover new places and support local businesses.

And while at some of the stops, guests will enjoy a savory or sweet bite perfectly paired with each tasting.
