La Cava del Tequila coming to Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion

Walt Disney World's latest dining (and drinking) experience is the La Cava del Tequila at Epcot's Mexico Pavilion. La Cava del Tequila will feature more than 70 types of tequila, and a “Tequila Ambassador” will be on site to educate guests about tequila’s importance to Mexico and the art of tequila making.

The beverages served at La Cava del Tequila will include specially mixed margaritas (where tequila is the key ingredient) and tapas style foods will also be available, such as including freshly made guacamole, corn tortilla chips, salsas, ceviches and tostadas.

Tequila is a product of the agave plant and its origins go back to the 16th century. The Aztec people had their own version of a fermented agave drink before the Spanish conquistadors arrived and began to distill their own version of it, making tequila the first indigenous distilled spirit in North America.

The Mexico Pavilion at Epcot is best known for its entrance in the shape of an Aztec-era temple and the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros ride. The San Angel Inn restaurant is located right by the ride’s entrance.
