Celebrate Día de los Muertos at Paraiso with a Mezcal Tasting Dinner - Washington, DC

  • Paraiso - Mexican Restaurant Taqueria & Mezcaleria 1101 Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast #Unit 1 Washington, DC 20003 United States (map)

Celebrate Día de los Muertos with a special evening of mezcal and cuisine. Enjoy a three-course menu thoughtfully paired with artisanal mezcals from Del Maguey, the pioneer of single-village mezcal.

Start with a complimentary welcome mezcal cocktail, then join a guided tasting exploring the flavors, history, and traditions behind each expression. Learn how families in Oaxaca continue to craft these small-batch mezcals by hand.

Raise a glass with us and celebrate life, tradition, and flavor. Salud!
