Herradura Tequila Pairing Dinner - Friday, April 26, 2024 We are excited to welcome Herradura

Born in 1870, Casa Herradura is one of Mexico’s most historic and renowned tequila producers, since the 19th century in Amatitán, Jalisco. Within its walls, they craft and estate-bottle some of the finest tequilas anyone has ever tasted. It is here that they invented the first reposado and extra añejo, forever changing the world of tequila. And it is here, from the small town of Amatitàn in the heart of Mexico’s tequila region, that they continue to set the standard for what’s to come.

For over a hundred years, fresh agave juice was collected from the tahona wheel and poured into large fermentation tanks where it was mixed with water from an underground aqueduct. It is then transferred into beautiful copper distillation tanks that serve as a reminder that Casa Herradura has been committed to creating the world’s very best tequilas for over a century, all while using a 100% natural fermentation process.

Things you may not have known about Herradura: it is the only tequila that produces its barrels. Most of Herradura's flavor, and all of its color, come from the barrel. The new tequila enters the barrel at 88 proof (44% ABV). All bottling is done on-site, and the iconic horseshoe is applied by hand on every bottle.

Join us to learn much more about Casa Herradura from its ambassadors, enjoy the many flavors of this tequila house and taste incredible dishes crafted by Chef Luis Lopez-Bueno of Savannah Tequila Company.
