Código Tequila Dinner

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2024

6 PM RECEPTION - 6:30 PM SEATED DINNER

For five generations, Código was known as El Tequila Privado (the private tequila), or simply “the special stuff.” It was a secret recipe made at a local distillery and shared among five families in Amatitán for over 100 years. The family that produced the spirit never strayed from the centuries-old tequila-making customs, or “Los Codigos,” the sacred craft rules that have become the brand’s namesake. The “1530” is a nod to the Spanish conquistadors who founded Amatitán that year. The city’s slogan is “donde todo empezó” which means “where it all began,” a reference to this region being the birthplace of tequila.

Although its big debut in 2016 was the idea of a handful of men from north of the border, Código carefully adorns its Mexican origins in branding and production. The tequila uses rainwater naturally purified through volcanic rocks as it runs down the mountains in the Los Bajos region. Código does not add artificial additives or sweeteners. Instead, it is made with three times the agave as the average tequila, which provides a subtle natural sweetness. Rather than commercial yeast, the brand sources yeast from the same local Amatitán bakery that the original family went to for generations. Join us and discover this premium tequila paired with Chef Hugo and Ruben Ortega’s special four-course menu. Sourtheast Texas Market Manager, Misha Johnson, will join us for the dinner. ¡Salud!
