The event marked the highly acclaimed tequila brand’s introduction to the Arizona market.

The first-of-its-kind pop-up experience was created as the ultimate tequila-sipping destination, a luxurious sanctuary where spirits enthusiasts can enjoy the world’s finest, additive-free tequila amidst the Arizona Biltmore’s historic Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. Guests were treated to an immersive experience in a custom-built pergola adjacent to Renata’s Hearth, the resort’s iconic Latin-inspired dining venue. During the event, guests snapped photos in front of vignettes inspired by the Arizona desert and the Jalisco Highlands, where Cierto cultivates the estate-grown agave it uses to craft its tequila.

The Cierto Tequila Oasis served sips of tequila neat or on the rocks, in addition to unique signature cocktails, such as the Cantarito (made with Cierto Tequila Private Collection Blanco) and the Reposado Old Fashioned (made with Cierto Tequila Private Collection Reposado).

The evening featured music by DJ CeCe and gourmet food pairings from Renata’s Hearth, such as Chilean sea bass ceviche paired with Cierto Tequila Private Collection Blanco, Elote empanadas paired with Cierto Tequila Private Collection Reposado and wagyu brisket bombas paired with Cierto Tequila Private Collection Añejo. The highlight of the event was a heartfelt toast by Ami-Lynn Bakshi, CEO of Elevated Spirits (the producer of Cierto Tequila), and Michael Hoffman, Managing Director of Arizona Biltmore, celebrating the opening of the unique space.
