Viva Tequila Festival in Atlanta

The Viva Tequila Festival is coming back to Atlanta on Saturday, October 26. The festival will take place under the tents at The Promenade located in Piedmont Park. This exciting one-day event highlights the culture, food, and drink of Mexico in an upscale and enjoyable setting. The festival is dedicated to educating people about the history and artistry of tequila, which has become America's new favorite sipping liquor. The event is being hosted by Juan Bonilla, a famous tequila importer and connoisseur, and Sean O'Keefe, an event producer from Atlanta.

The festival will feature delicious food from Atlanta's best local restaurants. Twenty-five top-rated Atlanta restaurants will be paired with 25 of the world's finest boutique tequilas. Attendees will also get to enjoy live music and other exciting performances, as well as purchase local and imported artisan goods.

Did Someone Say Tequila?

“Our goal is to give guests a completely different understanding of how the spirit works in a gastronomic context. Many people have bad experiences with tequila when they are younger, but we are trying to teach them to give tequila another chance,” says Juan Bonilla. “The greatest reward is how people’s perceptions change once they realize how good quality tequila tastes and how well it pairs with different types of food.”

Viva Tequila Festival Gives Back 

A part of the festival's earnings go towards supporting the Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance, a non-profit organization that aims to raise awareness and educate women, their families, and the healthcare community about the risks, symptoms, and treatment of ovarian cancer, leading to early detection. Bonilla is passionate about providing high-quality products that don't increase the risk of diseases, and GOCA's cause holds a special place in his heart.  For more information on Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance, please call 404-255-1337 or visit gaovariancancer.org.
