Celebrate the holidays with us at the Artisan’s Palate for a festive evening of rum, culinary artistry, and seasonal cheer!
Our Women of Whiskey series continues—this time spotlighting two extraordinary women master blenders who have elevated rum to a world-class spirit:
- Lorena Vásquez, the creative force behind Ron Zacapa, famed for its luxurious, slow-aged rums from Guatemala.
- Jassil Villanueva Quintana, fifth-generation rum maker and the first female master blender for Brugal Rum, a Dominican icon.
Indulge in an exclusive chef’s tasting experience, where each course is paired with a signature holiday-inspired cocktail featuring these exceptional rums and infused with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Chef Christa Csoka will craft a menu that captures the warmth and joy of the season—perfect for toasting the holidays and the women shaping the spirits world.
