2023 Tequila Mezcal Challenge Competition Presented by Wine Country Network November 4 to 5, 2023
The 5th Annual Tequila Mezcal Challenge will take place in beautiful Denver, Colorado, amidst the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. When we launched the Tequila Mezcal Challenge, it was our goal to raise the bar for this rapidly evolving category many new brands are embarking on almost a weekly basis.
Most other competitions clump agave products into just five or six groups, our competition committee has painstakingly created the first professional spirits competition dedicated to over 60 categories of Tequila, Mezcal, and Agave spirits. Our judging teaming consists of some of the world’s most seasoned tequila and mezcal experts. They understand and respect the details and time that goes into the entire process.
