This event is to participate in a wine tasting and WATCH a glassblowing demonstration. If you would like to try glassblowing, you may click HERE to sign up for one of our glassblowing courses.

This evening we’ll celebrate tequila- a liquor that is complex, peppery, smooth, and vegetal all at once. Once guests arrive and settle into the Michigan Room, local cocktail historian Beth Vandergrift will guide participants through the making of a signature cocktail created just for this event.

Then, drink in hand, the group will move to the Hot Shop to attend a live glass-blowing demonstration during which the artists will create one of the glasses used during the class.

For the final part of the evening, we’ll return to the Michigan Room to craft the classic Paloma. Throughout the evening Beth will lead a discussion on the history of tequila and related topics. Guests will end the evening with a renewed appreciation of Mexico’s native spirit, the recipes used during the class, and a memorable Hot Shop experience.

Must be 21+ to attend. 

Questions we'll discuss in this exciting class!

Where does tequila come from? ~ How is tequila made? ~ What's tequila's connection to the diamond industry? ~ Can tequila cure the common cold? ~ Are there health benefits associated with drinking tequila?
