Margaritas, Mezcals & Magic: The Adults-Only Tequila Experience You Didn’t Know About

If you love tequila or simply enjoy discovering something a little out of the ordinary, the La Cava Experience at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is a must-do. Tucked away inside the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT, this intimate, adults-only tasting feels like stepping into a hidden world of flavour, where premium, one-of-a-kind agave spirits take centre stage.

From the moment you arrive at the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT, it’s clear this isn’t your average theme park experience. The space is cosy and atmospheric, with a secret-club feel designed for people who truly appreciate great spirits. And that’s exactly what it is: a guided tasting led by a certified Tequila Ambassador, who takes you on a journey through the fascinating world of tequila and mezcal.

During the experience, you’ll sample six exceptional spirits, typically five tequilas spanning Blanco, Reposado, Añejo and Extra Añejo styles, plus one Mezcal. Each has been carefully selected to showcase the diversity of flavours that come from different regions and production methods.

This isn’t just about sipping and moving on. Your ambassador explains the history behind each spirit, how it’s made, and the best way to enjoy each style. By the end, you’ll not only have tasted some seriously rare tequilas, but you’ll also have a genuine appreciation for the craftsmanship behind every sip.

Tasting With All Your Senses

One of the most surprising and fun elements of the La Cava Experience is how the Tequila Ambassador uses accompaniments to completely transform how each spirit tastes. This is a tasting designed to slow you down and make you really pay attention.

You may be guided to pair certain tequilas with small pieces of chocolate, but that’s only the beginning. Other flavour contrasts might include a touch of salt, a slice of citrus, or even a deliberate pause to focus on aroma before tasting again.

Each element is carefully chosen to highlight different notes within the tequila, from sweetness and spice to smokiness and depth. A spirit that initially tastes smooth and mellow may suddenly feel brighter or richer, while another reveals layers of complexity you didn’t notice before.

This part of the experience is often what changes minds the fastest. Even guests who thought tequila was a one-note spirit usually leave with a completely new perspective.

Chips, Guacamole & a Special Disney Keepsake

Because no tasting should happen on an empty stomach, you’ll also enjoy freshly made chips and guacamole, perfect for cleansing your palate between spirits and keeping the experience balanced.

As a fun bonus, you’ll take home an exclusive Disney pin to remember your tasting adventure. It’s a small but thoughtful touch that makes the experience feel even more special.

This is a strictly adults-only experience. Guests must be 21 or over, and a valid ID is checked on arrival. Under-21s aren’t permitted in the room, which keeps the atmosphere relaxed, focused and very much geared towards grown-up enjoyment.

The cost is around $180 per person plus tax. While that may sound steep at first, the exclusivity, expert guidance, rare spirits and immersive setting make it excellent value for a truly unique EPCOT experience. Reservations are essential and can be made via the Disney website or the My Disney Experience app, as spots fill quickly.

But don't worry if you miss out on this unique booking; there are other tasting experiences around Walt Disney World. Or you can enjoy some downtime in one of the many lounges, like Geo-82 in Future World, EPCOT.

Fairytale Holidays Tips

Pace yourself: With six premium spirits to sample, it’s easy to get carried away. Sip slowly and savour each one.

Ask questions: The Tequila Ambassador loves to share stories, and curiosity makes the experience even better.

Take in the details: From hand-painted tiles to subtle nods to Mexican culture, the décor is worth a closer look.

Snap a photo afterwards: Photography isn’t allowed during the tasting, but the Mexico Pavilion outside is the perfect backdrop.

Don’t forget your pin: This exclusive keepsake is a lovely reminder of your adults-only adventure.

Whether you’re a seasoned spirits fan or simply looking for a unique way to slow down and savour EPCOT, the La Cava Experience is one of those hidden gems that can turn an ordinary park day into something truly memorable. Think of it as a mini celebration of flavour, learning and a touch of Disney magic, all in one cosy, exclusive room.
