As we anticipate the crisp days of Autumn, it’s the perfect time to indulge in seasonal festivities that tantalize the senses. Recently, Ambar Restaurante set a high bar for fall events with an exclusive agave tasting dinner, featuring the esteemed Felipe Camarena of Don Vicente and G4 Tequilas. The evening was an exquisite blend of gastronomic artistry and tequila mastery, capturing the essence of Mexican heritage with unparalleled flair.
Guests were treated to a five-course feast curated by Executive Chef Lawrence Acosta and Pastry Chef Jacqueline Rojo. Each dish was thoughtfully paired with Camarena’s exceptional tequilas, culminating in a standout Lamb Osso Buco braised with Don Vicente Tequila Añejo. Camarena’s engaging stories and deep insights into the craft of tequila-making made the night not just a meal, but a captivating experience that celebrated both the spirit and the stories behind it.
This fall, the festivities continue with the grand opening of the Agave Room at the Plaza Hotel on October 21—Mezcal Day. The week-long series of events promises an immersive journey into the world of tequila, featuring themed dinners each evening:
