The Agave Heritage Festival is about exploring and celebrating the cultural, commercial and culinary significance of the agave across the border. From Agave University to exciting panel discussions to art openings and live demonstrations about agave roasting and fiber crafts, Tucson really is alive with all things agave. As part of this festival, Maynard’s Market and Kitchen will host Agave: A Spirit without Borders. Attendees will learn about the politics and practice of agave distillation from a commercial and domestic approach, while exploring the benefits and challenges of the industry in the emerging US agave industry. Todd’s enthusiasm around this Festival is contagious. Join us to hear why this event is clearly one of his favorites. This show made possible due to the generous support of Hotel Congress.
