This weekend you can raise a glass to the rich heritage of agave spirits without having to book a flight to Mexico.
The Tequila & Agave Festival is back this Saturday, May 24 at the Italian Cultural Centre in Vancouver.
This spirited celebration is your chance to sample an exceptional selection of tequilas, mezcals, raicilla, and more from top producers.

Food will be provided by La Mezcaleria and Nonna's Cucina.
Whether you're a seasoned sipper or curious newcomer, the event promises an unforgettable evening of culture, connection, and great food and drink. Enjoy live Mariachi, DJ sets, and delicious bites while mingling with fellow enthusiasts and industry pros.
