Join us at Neat in West LA for an unforgettable evening exploring the exceptional world of ArteNOM and Las Joyas del Agave, presented by renowned agave educator Marshall Altier. Rather than representing a single distillery, ArteNOM showcases the work of some of Mexico's most accomplished tequila producers, highlighting the diversity and craftsmanship of agave spirits. Through a guided tasting of six remarkable expressions, Marshall will explore how terroir, cultivation, production techniques, and aging influence each tequila's unique character. The evening begins with a handcrafted welcome cocktail created by Neat's talented bar team, and after the tasting you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a selection of ArteNOM and Las Joyas del Agave pours at special event pricing. Whether you're a seasoned tequila enthusiast or just beginning your agave journey, this is a rare chance to discover extraordinary tequilas while gaining a deeper appreciation for the people, traditions, and craftsmanship behind every bottle.
