Mezcal’s story isn’t just about alcohol; each bottle is a living link to Mexican history, tradition, art, and music. It's life and death all in a bottle.Join some of the biggest figures in the mezcal world as we celebrate Mexico’s greatest spirit through tastings, art, music, and a series of exclusive discussions of the hottest topics in the mezcal world. And to keep that whistle wet, the hottest Mexican restaurants from the Bay Area will pair exclusive bites with magical mezcal cocktails.

The event is 21 and over so bring your ID as we will card anyone who appears younger than 30.
We will be tasting high percentage alcohols that mostly range from 45-50% so we recommend that you don't drive. BART and MUNI both have stops very close to Public Works and taxi rides will get you where you need to go without incident.
