Mexico Pavilion at Epcot to open Tequila Bar
by MadWatchStudios on Aug.26, 2009, under Disney Parks
Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion in the World Showcase will be home to a new Tequila bar. La Cava del Tequila will be in a soft opening in late August or early September, with an official opening by September 25th (the beginning date of Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival). The 46-seat venue will be located inside the pavilion’s main building, next to San Angel Inn restaurant. I believe that location is the site of the former La Familia Fashions - a clothing and jewelry/silver shop.
The Tequila bar will offer an impressive collection of 70 varieties of tequilas. The authentic agava-based spirits will range from the major brands, to the smaller and more rare varieties. A “Tequila Ambassador” will inform guests on the process of making tequila and the history of its Mexican heritage. La Cava del Tequila will use its décor and art work to celebrate the history of the most famous (or infamous) spirit from Mexico. The drinks will be offered both straight and in margaritas.
I’ll be checking in on the Mexico pavilion frequently to find out when the soft opening has started.

Makes a lot of sense. More of the worlds in showcase should have specialized bars to drinks native of their country. France could have a champagne and cognac bar, Japan could have a sake bar, and if they ever build a Russia pavilion it would have a vodka bar.

I’m not a tequila fan, so this doesn’t impact me … but it sounds like a pretty cool idea. I’d guess it’ll be very successful.

Millbrook Vineyards & Winery is considered one of the top wineries for its world-class wine not only in the Hudson Valley Wine but all of NY Winery and indeed the eastern seaboard.
