D23 Gold Members can enjoy a “taste of history” at EPCOT’s Mexico pavilion this summer with a private tequila tasting, meal at San Angel Inn, and more during an exclusive event.
The Mexico Pavilion: A Taste of History – A D23 Experience at EPCOT
Here are the event details:
- La Cava Experience: A private guided tasting with Tequila Ambassador Humberto Soto of six (6) premium agave spirits—ranging from blanco to aged tequilas, plus an artisanal mezcal.
- Also includes chips and guacamole as a palate cleanser, and a keepsake “Agave Connoisseur Club” pin.
- Guests will receive a commemorative tequila cocktail glass with the La Cava Tequila logo etched by Arribas Brothers.
- La Cava del Tequila: Enjoy “The Aztec Eagle,” a D23 Member-exclusive cocktail at La Cava Tequila. This beverage, created in collaboration with the Walt Disney Archives, pays tribute to a historical moment—when Walt Disney was honored by the Mexican government with the Order of the Aztec Eagle, during a visit to Mexico City in 1943! In addition, guests will be among the first to sample the new aged in-house “Anniversary Old Fashioned,” celebrating the 17th Anniversary of La Cava del Tequila.
- Guests will receive a stainless-steel beverage sphere with an Arribas Brothers-etched “23.”
- San Angel Inn: Guests will have an unforgettable meal with a curated tasting menu made just for this event, showcasing some of the restaurant’s most beloved and traditional dishes through the years since its grand opening of EPCOT in 1982, and tracing its roots even further back to a Mexico City culinary institution. Guests will select an appetizer, main course, and dessert from the tasting menu included in the ticket, plus a San Angel Inn margarita (as served in the original San Angel Inn restaurant in Mexico City).
- To commemorate the lunch, guests will receive a replica of the original 1982 San Angel Inn menu.
- Guests will also receive an event credential.
