Guided by Expertise
Every seat at the Agave Pairing Dinner comes with an insider’s perspective from Proximo. Our featured Guide will help navigate you through the nuances of each pour and the artistry of the distilleries. Think of them as your personal translator for the evening, sharing the history of the families behind the bottles and the secrets of the soil.
While our Guide is currently in the tasting room hand-selecting the rare bottles that best complement Chef Irwin's finalized menu, the journey will span from the crisp brightness of Highland Blancos to the deep, complex soul of an aged Añejo.
