Our team traveled to Guadalajara and Tequila, soaking up knowledge and sipping unique pours from agave spirits producers, small-batch artisan raicilla makers, family-run tequila businesses—all crafting spirits with respect for the land and product. In contrast to our exploration of street food and taco culture, we indulged in longer, fine dining meals with beverage pairings to get a feel for how chefs in Guadalajara are expressing local ingredients and food culture in formats similar to Topolobampo. These trips are an incredible education AND also a lot of fun. We take eating and drinking seriously, but not ourselves.
