Los Dos Coas

Cutting right to the heart of fine tequila

With a breadth of experience spanning 9 distilleries over 5 years, we deliver an inimitable presentation on the history and practices involved with making fine tequilas. Our experiences with the master distillers of brand names such as Patron, Milagro, Herradura, and Viva Mexico along with the Award T certification from the Consejo Regulador del Tequila have given us in-depth knowledge on the production and appreciation of tequila that we have condensed with the goal of allowing our guests to enjoy tequila as we do. Inside of the United States, our efforts have been focused on the local beer breweries of Texas and the bourbon distilleries of Kentucky.

Our tequila event is designed to ignite your interest in the history and enjoyment of this fine spirit. We will teach your team the story, geographic origins, and distillation process of tequila from raw plant to bottle. Together we’ll explore the three ages of tequila and conduct a tasting of blanco (“white”), reposado (“rested”), and añejo (“aged”) varieties with an eye for detail and a nose for subtle differences.

The food pairings suggested for each spirit are made with the specific qualities of each tequila in mind.
