Glocal: All-Inclusive Food & Wine Festival
Glocal emerged from the idea of creating a different kind of food and wine festival, with the fusion of local talent and global brands, collaborating as one to deliver a diversity of events and activities, all included with your vacation package.
These activities — available for 8 days — range from pool parties, paella feasts, snoring tuna ceremonies, mixology classes, wine pairings, neon champagne parties, and so much more!
A Detailed Agenda, For The All-inclusive Glocal Experience
For foodies and fun-seekers alike, Glocal truly has it all! Your culinary journey starts in the inauguration, all themed up as a celebration of Mexican culture, its flavors, and most representative spirits. With special guests like Tequila Patrón, we’ve all had the chance to try different kinds of tacos with a side of Tequila mixology.
April 06 and April 07: A True Culinary Journey
On the second and third day of the event, our agenda began at 11 am and led us through a variety of experiences. We started by the Hacienda and then moved on to spend time at Eden pool, where we enjoyed watching mixology specialists adding local touches to their drinks, creating a truly unique experience.
Followed by The Chef Series: White Wine & Oysters experience at Eden pool, a Master Class of Tequila Patrón leaded by their LATAM ambassador Jose Luis Gutiérrez, and the Glocal Experience, a Four Hand Dinner and wine pairing from the two Californias presented by Bodegas de Santo Tomás, The Prisoner Wine Co., and Robert Mondavi Winery. An unparalleled experience for the senses!
Our fourth day of Glocal redefined culinary mastery and all-inclusive entertainment, thanks to its elevated experiences like the snoring tuna ceremony at Eden pool, the Joseph Mortera California Gin Master classroom the Glocal Festival with the Route 666 theme at the Woodstock Terrace, and last but not least the Neon Party & Champagne at Heaven Night Club.
