As part of the evening, guests were guided to the wine cellar, where Clase Azul Mexico’s Manuel Cruz presented the brand’s tequila and mezcal icons, sharing the history of the brand and the mission of Clase Azul Mexico.
After the wine cellar, guests were taken on a kitchen tour and walkthrough of the menu with remarks by Chef Val Cantu before being led to their seats for a decadent meal featuring Clase Azul tequilas and mezcals as well as sumptuous caviars from The Caviar Co., including their Kaluga Hybrid Caviar, Imperial Golden Osetra Caviar and Siberian Sturgeon Caviar.
