About this Event
At this new event during the Tucson International Mariachi Conference, experience a culinary and musical journey through the Mexican regions that shaped mariachi—Michoacán, Colima, Veracruz, Nayarit, Jalisco, and Sonora—guided by Tucson City of Gastronomy Chef Ambassador Pablo Valencia. Each course interprets a different place and tradition using heritage ingredients, accompanied by wines from Mexico’s most acclaimed winemaking regions. Between courses, musicians steeped in mariachi history will perform and share stories that connect the music to the regions on your plate. A portion of the proceeds of this fundraiser for the nonprofit Tucson City of Gastronomy’s work to preserve and celebrate our borderlands' food heritage will support the Tucson International Mariachi Conference.
