The Experience

Calling all South Bay Agave Girls! After years of unforgettable gatherings, we are thrilled to return to Copita Willow Glen for a very special evening led by the woman who started it all: Joanne Weir. Whether you are a seasoned tequila aficionado or simply looking for a vibrant night out with like-minded women, Agave Girls offers a celebratory environment to explore the flavor, history, and craft of Mexico’s finest spirit. We are thrilled to be partnering with LALO Tequila. LALO Premium Tequila Blanco is purely crafted for a clean taste and is made with only three ingredients: deep well water drawn from the heart of Jalisco’s mineral-rich Mexican soil, Champagne yeast selected for its harmoniously balanced flavor profile, and fully-mature Highland agave.
