The 11th Annual Spirits of Mexico Festival returns to San Diego this year and for the first time will be held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The festival is the largest and most prestigious tasting event in North America for agave-based and other Mexican spirits.

Guests will sample, sip, and savor hundreds of premier spirits, including tequila, mezcal, bacanora, and Mexican wine and taste Latin-inspired dishes that pair perfectly with the spirits.

In addition to the tasting exhibition, the event will feature The Spirits of Mexico competition, live music, a silent auction, and a chance to Meet the Masters and pioneers of the world of agave spirits.

All Area Access tickets allow guests to taste an exclusive range of "extra anejos": these tickets also allow a select few to join the panel of judges on the Cocktail Challenge People’s Panel.
