Sydney’s agave lovers, get ready.
MUCHO Tequila & Mezcal Festival is back for 2025, taking over Centro 86 on Sunday 14th September for one massive afternoon of tasting, learning and celebrating Mexico’s most iconic spirits.
Created by the crew behind Centro 86’s extensive tequila back bar and Cantina OK!’s world-renowned mezcal program, the festival is set to showcase the weird, wonderful and wildly diverse world of agave. Expect over 14 tasting stations pouring more than 30 producers from across Mexico, alongside rare drops, bold new flavours, and insider knowledge straight from the experts.
It’s not just about the tastings either. A one-off festival drinks menu will keep the energy flowing, featuring $13 Margaritas, $10 Palomas and $8 Lagers, the perfect fuel for a Sunday session with a little Mexican heat.
