Viceroy Riviera Maya has partnered with mezcal brand Poze Hondo.
As part of the partnership, the resort will offer private Mezcal tours to guests, who can experience the Mezcal making process firsthand and learn about the traditions behind the beverage.
Poze Hondo’s products will also be served in the resort’s bars and restaurants, and for guests to purchase.
The news of the partnership comes ahead of the resort’s Cinco de Mayo celebrations, which include a ‘Tacos & Mezcal Tasting’ hosted by Pozo Hondo Owner, Alberto Alvelais.
Pozo Hondo is family-owned and today continues to use the same methods and recipe as when it was founded in 1840.
Its award-winning mezcal has a distinct and unique flavour, thanks to its fermentation processes, use of the Salmiana Crissispina plant and extreme attention to its growing conditions.
Pozo Hondo is creating a school to educate people about Mezcal and its deep Mexican traditions, where students can become Master Mezcalier.
Viceroy Riviera Maya is also announcing its new Cinco de Mayo Package, a special 3-day fiesta starting on Thursday, May 5th, 2022.
As well as mezcal tasting with Pozo Hondo, Viceroy Riviera Maya’s Cinco de Mayo celebrations feature guest chef, Thalia Barrios García.
Named one of the best new chefs in Mexico by Food & Wine in 2021, chef Thalia comes from a long line of cooks and will bring the flavours of true Oaxacan cuisine to the resort.
Highlights of the Cinco de Mayo package include:
- Tacos and Mezcal tasting hosted by Alberto Alvelais, Owner of Pozo Hondo Mezcal
- Six-course meal and optional wine pairing from resident Chef Julio and guest Chef Thalia
- Live music from both a Mariachi and a Norteña band
Tulio Brauch, Director of Sales and Marketing for Viceroy Riviera Maya commented:“Pozo Hondo is a truly authentic brand which the resort staff love, and we know our guests will too. We strongly believe in helping guests to find their ‘inner viceroy’.
“Visiting our resort is a transformative experience which is enhanced by providing opportunities to explore and embrace Mexican culture.
“Whether it is through our partnership with Pozo Hondo, our Cinco de Mayo package, guest chefs or other offerings, the person who arrives at Viceroy Riviera Maya won’t be the same person who leaves.”
The Cinco de Mayo package is available to book now (from $425 – package only, excludes accommodation). Full details of the package can be found here.
