Riviera Maya, Mexico (October 25, 2016)
Tequila & Taco Tasting experienceStarting in November, foodie travelers can indulge in a new expertly paired Tequila & Taco Tasting experience at Mexico's AAA Five Diamond Grand Velas Riviera Maya, included in the resort's all-inclusive rate. Curated by the resort's renowned in-house food and beverage team, Mexico's foodie resort excites culinary-enthusiasts seeking an authentic experience with Mexican cuisine rated part of UNESCO's culinary world heritage.

Rib Eye tacos are savored with anejo Tres Generaciones tequila, bringing out the quality and unique characteristics of the ingredients.
