Savannah Tequila Co. at Plant Riverside District, located at 400 W. River St., will host a special Catadores Club Tequila Pairing Dinner to celebrate the traditional Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. This one-night-only dining experience will offer an exquisite five-course dinner designed to complement the smooth, complex flavors of Hornitos premium tequila on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 6:30 p.m.

“Our Catadores Club Tequila Dinner in November is designed to engage the senses, combining the rich flavors of Mexico with premium tequila pairings,” said Chef Fullem. “There’s no better way to celebrate Día de los Muertos than with an intimate, spirits-focused dining experience that can only be found at Savannah Tequila Company.”

Each course will be perfectly paired with samples of Hornitos tequila as well as specialty cocktails.
