Durango here we come!

Mexico in a Bottle returns to Nombre de Dios for three days to celebrate mezcal, food and the incredible landscape of this mezcal producing area

We can’t believe it has been almost a year since we launched our very first Mexico in a Bottle event in Nombre de Dios, Durango. We are thrilled to announce that we will be returning once again this year June 6th-9th for a multi day celebration of all things mezcal. The premiere Mexico in a Bottle tasting event will take place on Saturday, June 7th on the grounds of the Cuero Viejo vinata where we’ll once again be showcasing beautiful mezcals, sotols and more from all over Durango and México. There will also be incredible art, artisans and delicious foods that celebrate the varied regional and traditional cuisines of Durango.

This year we’ve got several activities planned in addition to the big event.

Friday, June 6th: Dinner under the stars in Nombre de Dios that celebrates the incredible gastronomy of Mexico. Six courses will be created by teams of chefs from Durango, Mexico City, Monterrey, Puebla, Baja and the US. Each course will be paired with a different expression of mezcal or sotol from Durango.

It is impossible to express how much we love the town of Nombre de Dios. Nestled among the mountains and volcanoes (inactive) landscape, it is located about 40 minutes from Durango city. The unique landscape and terroir is what makes this an incredible area of mezcal and sotol production in Durango. You could not ask for a better way to connect people, place, culture and spirit!
