FAQS

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

Event

  • Are there any other tasting besides tequila?

    Yes we showcase mezcal too! This enhances the agave and cuisine experience. Note: there will be a cash bar available should you want to purchase beer, wine or cocktails separately.

  • Is my membership or ticket refundable?

    While it is not refundable, your ticket or membership may be transferable. Meaning, you can transfer it to someone else–the person you wish to transfer to must be 21+ of age. If you have any questions about transfers, email us info@thetequilapeople.com

  • Are Designated Driver Tickets still available with the new membership model?

    Yes, we care deeply about safety. If you have a DD, please contact us and we will provide you with the necessary information you need. 

    info@thetequilapeople.com 


  • Do I need my ID to get in?

    Yes - IDs will be checked at the door, this is a 21 and older event. You will need to present us with your virtual membership card and your ID to verify that it’s really you. 

  • How is this different from other events?

    The emphasis is on education, culture and community. All of the brands, vendors, sponsors and partners help make this a well rounded agave experience! We are proud to work solely with master distillers, owners and ambassadors, connecting them to our members is key to understanding their stories and product(s) on a more personal and authentic level. 

  • Is dinner included?

    There will be plenty of chef inspired fun and creative food stations with bite size offerings that pair nicely with agave. This is not a plated dinner type of event. We recommend you grab a heavy lunch before attending. :)

  • Are memberships available at the door?

    If we have not sold out of memberships by the time of the event, this may be an option (no guarantee). Due to space limitations, we will be limiting the amount of memberships we sell. 

  • What is the dress attire?

    Cocktail attire – this is a first-class agave experience so you will not feel too dressed up if you come in a dress (ladies) or in a sports coat (men). Please no baseball caps, flip flops, shorts or tennis shoes. Dust off those shiny shoes and plan for some fun in a comfortable and festive environment as we honor and celebrate Mexico’s emblematic spirit and its people! 

  • I’m on the fence about becoming a member, I’ve had a bad experience with tequila and I'm not sure I want to revisit it. What should I do?

    You are not alone on this and our answer to you is YES. If you are ready to re-discover tequila, we are your PEOPLE. This is a great community to be a part of!
