El Tequileño Tequila Dinner - SOLD OUT

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 2024

6 PM RECEPTION - 6:30 PM SEATED DINNER

Don Jorge Salles Cuervo spent two decades producing tequila before starting his tequila brand, El Tequileño, in 1959. Since its founding, the home of El Tequileño has been the historic La Guarreña distillery, located in Tequila, Jalisco. The name El Tequileño honors this town, the birthplace of tequila. Don Jorge passed away in 2000, leaving the company in the hands of his family who have never waivered on the quality and integrity of their product. In fact, in 2023, El Tequileño won Best Agave Producer of the Year by the International Spirits Challenge.

On June 5, Hugo’s is honored to welcome Master Distiller and Don Jorge’s grandson, Antonio Salles, to the restaurant for this special evening. We will begin with a cocktail reception at 6 pm, followed by a seated, 4-course menu created by Chefs Hugo and Ruben Ortega, each course paired with an El Tequileño tequila cocktail or spirit. Join us and learn about this highly acclaimed tequila from the family itself!
