May 2025 Tequila Tasting Dinner at Wine Down

  • Wine Down Bistro 9447 Bradmore Lane Ooltewah, TN, 37363 United States (map)

Tequila has come a long way from the hangover-inducing protocol of salt, shot, lime, repeat and we are excited to bring you our first Taste of Tequila Dinner event.

Enjoy a six-course culinary journey featuring authentic and progressive Mexican dishes created by our Executive Chef Wilbur Cox Jr and Executive Sous Chef Jake Shockey. This experience will include an education and samples of tequila expressions such as Blanco, Reposado, Anejo, Cristalino and Mezcal! We will also offer two tequila cocktails and fun mixers for those who need to chase the taste!  

Whether you’re a tequila connoisseur or just curious to learn more, this event is perfect for you! Come and discover your new favorite tequila while enjoying a night of great food, company, trivia and prizes.  Ticket price is $85 + tax (gratuity not included)
