“Last night’s tequila tasting event at Añejo (11954 104 Ave NW, Edmonton) was simply exceptional — a perfect blend of refinement, fun, and genuine Mexican hospitality. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special. Ambiance & Venue Añejo’s space is bold yet welcoming. The decor channels the vibrant heart of Mexico — think warm hues, intricate Day of the Dead motifs, and tasteful agave-inspired design touches. The lighting strikes a balance: soft enough to feel intimate, but lively enough to keep the energy high. The room for the tasting felt curated and upscale, ideal for both casual tequila lovers and serious aficionados. Tequila Selection With over 200 varieties of tequila, Añejo boasts one of the most impressive agave spirit collections in Canada. Their tequila menu spans blancos, reposados, añejos, and more — catering to every palate. For the tasting, they offered a carefully curated flight, pairing each pour with a short story about its origin, aging process, and tasting notes. The knowledgeable tequila sommeliers were absolutely on point — warm, passionate, and clearly very well-informed. Food Pairings No tequila goes alone at Añejo — the food matched the sophistication of the drinks. We started with their tableside guacamole, which was fresh, vivid, and deliciously zesty. It set the tone perfectly for the rest of the evening. I posted the menu For dessert, they surprised us with a Peach Flan — a velvety custard with preserved peach and chile honeycomb, paired with a beautifully sweet tequila that rounded off the evening on a warm, comforting note. Service & Expertise Andy our server was exceptional! Nelvin the General Manager was friendly and accommodating Service was impeccable throughout. The tequila sommelier guiding us was not only knowledgeable but also personable — explaining complex flavor profiles in a way that was engaging (and never condescending). Our server was attentive, timing food courses perfectly so we could savor each sip, and was always ready with top-ups and explanations. Value At CA$100 a person (for this particular tequila dinner event), the price felt justified — you’re paying for more than food and drink; you’re paying for an experience. According to Añejo’s OpenTable listing, this particular tasting (with El Tequileño) included a curated 4-course dinner plus a welcome cocktail, which felt like a great deal for a guided premium tequila experience. Overall Impression Añejo’s tequila tasting event is not just a night out — it’s an education wrapped in celebration. Whether you’re a tequila newbie or a seasoned drinker, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the craft, a happy palate, and memories of a truly elevated evening. Highly recommended for anyone in Edmonton looking to experience tequila culture authentically, deliciously, and stylishly”
