Art + Mezcal at Drift Ocaso - Santa Barbara, CA

  • Drift Santa Barbara 524 State Street Santa Barbara, CA 93101 United States (map)

Art and agave meet at Drift Ocaso, Drift Santa Barbara’s adjoining event space, for an evening shaped by craft, culture, and creativity - free and open to the public. Wander through 15+ agave-inspired artworks while enjoying a guided tasting of 9 rare, small-batch mezcals from traditional Oaxacan producers.

Hosted by agave specialist Jorge Báez of Licores Perros, the night highlights mezcal as both liquid and cultural art, honoring the people, land, and traditions behind each bottle.

The exhibit features the 10th Anniversary Commemorative Graphic Portfolio - Mezcales Cuish, curated by Felix Monterroza and showcasing works from 10+ Mexican artists. From legends to landscapes, each piece reflects Oaxaca’s rich artistic heritage and the spirit of mezcal.

Mezcal flights from Mezcales Cuish, Amateco, and Tres Tiempos, along with beer and wine options, will be available for purchase in partnership with Dusk - each pour telling a story of land, lineage, and living tradition.

Raise a glass to art, culture, and mezcal - this is a one-night experience not to miss.

Entry is free and open to all. Beer, wine, and mezcal tasting flights will be available for purchase for guests 21+.
