Hello my Blissful Bunch! If you’re looking for the ultimate excuse to get dressed up, smell amazing, and sip on some premium spirits, Arte Agave is for you!

Instead of spending $300+ on a single bottle of tequila in the clurb, my girlies and I took advantage of this immersive cultural experience. For $105/pp, we explored the best agave spirits in the world all under one artsy roof. The vibes were immaculate. It was packed, colorful, and overflowing with gorgeous date-night couples and friend groups looking moisturized af.. as you can see👇🏽😊

Here is everything you need to know about this nationwide Tequila and Mezcal Festival:

The Drinks: 100+ Premium Pours

If you are a tequila or mezcal babe, this is your Super Bowl. Arte Agave featured tasting experiences from over 25+ vendors, pouring over 100 varieties of fine agave spirits.

The coolest part? You get to elevate every single sip with a complimentary, engraved Glencairn® copita glass designed specifically to enhance the aroma and flavor of the spirits.

The VIP Experience

If you really want to treat yourself, the VIP Hour is 100% worth it. They pull out the rare pours that you won't see the rest of the night. We’re talking exclusive expressions like:

LALO 2025 High Proof Blanco * Tears of Llorona ( This one was a feel good tropical experience..kind of like drinking rum)
Patron 100
Don Fulano Imperial Extra Añejo
Partida Single Barrel Anejo
Corralejo Extra Anejo
El Bandido Yankee Plata 47 High Proof

Pro Tip: There is a bottle shop right on-site! Their official retail partner, Vintage Liquor, can literally deliver your newfound favorite agave spirits straight to your door!

The Vibes: Culture, Music & Art

Arte Agave isn't just about drinking; it's a beautiful, immersive celebration of Latin American culture. The entertainment was a major treat.

The Music: Traditional mariachi music by Mariachi Sol de Oro Miami had everyone dancing, while DJ Millz kept the energy high in between sets.
The Performances: We were treated to gorgeous folkloric dancers from the Ameyal Mexican Cultural Academy and wild live pop-up entertainment by Bentley Entertainment (I am so mad I didn't get a picture with the stilt walkers, they were funky!).
The Art: Live art features by the incredibly talented NopeKing added such a cool, creative edge to the venue.

Cultural Bites

So, our tickets clearly stated there would be "unlimited food," but somebody definitely lied! I asked multiple workers, and no one had a clue about the included food situation. My sisters and I arrived at around 7:30 and I genuinely don't believe that we came late enough to miss the food....a bit suspicious... Anyway, the food they did have available for purchase from local chefs was absolutely mouth-watering. You definitely won't go hungry with vendors like Josh’s Pizza, Cultivar Hospitality, and Arcano serving up artisanal pizza, loaded tenders, wings, sandwiches, and amazing Tequila BBQ!

Shop Local: The Artisan Marketplace

In between tastings, you can wander through the vibrant artisan marketplace. It was the perfect spot to pick up something unique and support small businesses.

Vendors included:

Party with a Purpose: Nadia’s Hope Equine Rescue

We love an event that gives back! Arte Agave partners with and donates partial proceeds to Nadia’s Hope Equine Rescue, a 501(c)3 non-profit located in Nokesville, Virginia.

Their mission is so incredibly sweet: rescuing unwanted, abused, and neglected horses (often saving them directly from kill pens or auctions). They provide these beautiful animals with quarantine, veterinary care, physical and mental rehab, and training so they can eventually be adopted into loving forever homes. As a staunch animal and tequila lover, drinking premium tequila while saving horses is an alley I will gladly enter!

Some of the horses Nadia's Hope has rescued.

Conclusion

Aside from the little food miscommunication, this was a completely fabulous, fun, informative and gorgeous cultural experience. Between the incredible vendors, the vibrant music, and the endless premium tequila, it's the perfect night out.
