Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal has announced the debut of several culinary enhancements across the resort. The expanded gastronomy program includes a new open-air Agave Study at Peacock Alley, Neutral Coffee Lab, a culture-rich cafe, and a re-design of the property’s signature restaurant, Don Manuels that spotlights TRAVESÍA, a nine-course tasting menu all surrounding the beloved taco.
Agave Study at Peacock Alley
The five agave spirits served at the Agave Study include:
- Tequila/Jalisco: Agave tequilana weber variedad azul is where tequila is obtained from and is the most famous alcoholic beverage.
- Mezcal/Oaxaca: Mezcal has been increasing in popularity and has some labeling as the parent of the tequila because both are made from the agave plant.
- Bacanora/Sonora: Bacanora is a type of beverage that comes from the same family as mezcal. What makes it so unique is that it can only be planted in the State of Sonor with the agave plant, Pacifica or Yaquiana.
- Sotol/Chihuahua: Sotol is originated in the Chihuahua desert and holds a flavor of hazelnut with butter and yeast notes.
- Raicilla/Jalisco: Raicilla is a drink that is similar to mezcal but is obtained from the distillation of fermented juices that is extracted from several types of matured agaves.
