Mexico in a Bottle

For the first time in Tucson, the Agave Heritage Festival partners with Mexico in a Bottle, the nationally recognized tasting event founded by Susan Coss and Max Garrone to celebrate the craft, culture, and community behind Mexico’s most distinctive spirits.

An evolution of the festival’s signature Agave Fiesta, this expanded experience brings together producers, importers, educators, and enthusiasts for an evening dedicated to the depth and diversity of Mexico’s spirits traditions. Guests will explore dozens of artisanal and ancestral expressions including mezcal, tequila, bacanora, sotol, raicilla, rum, gin, and other regional distillates, poured by the brands and representatives who steward them.

More than a tasting, Mexico in a Bottle invites guests to connect directly with the people and stories behind each bottle. Throughout the evening, participants can engage with producers and experts while learning about agave varietals, traditional production methods, regional terroir, and the cultural traditions that shape these spirits.

The event also features agave cocktails, music by Old Paint Records and DJ Monobiche, and bites from local chefs, creating a lively atmosphere that reflects the flavors and creative energy of the Sonoran Desert and the broader Mexico–U.S. borderlands.

Guests can also explore the Tiendita, a small marketplace featuring local artists and organizations connected to the culture and landscapes of the region.

Rooted in education, transparency, and celebration, Mexico in a Bottle offers a rare opportunity to experience the vibrant culture of Mexican spirits while meeting the producers and brands shaping its future.
