Tequila Don Julio has teamed up with New York City’s Mercer Labs Museum of Art and Technology to present Por Amor: An Immersive Tasting Experience, which takes you on a journey through the Blue Weber agave harvesting process, the history and legacy of founder Don Julio González and more — using proprietary technology to reimagine how tequila is experienced and celebrated through art and technology.

Mercer Labs is a cultural institution that bridges the gap between art and technology, and this is the museum’s first-ever full brand takeover. Tequila Don Julio continues to honor its long-standing tradition of pushing boundaries through innovation with this first-of-its-kind experience, which invigorates the expressions and flavors of the spirit.

As guests enter the four-day only installation, they will be met with the sounds, flavors and rhythms of Mexico, which will be personified through interactive rooms that tap into the five senses. Tequila Don Julio tells the story of its founder, as well as its aged expressions — Tequila Don Julio Reposado, Tequila Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino, and Tequila Don Julio 1942 — through 4D spatial sound, LED mirrored infinity rooms and volumetric light displays, fusing its passion for innovation with Mercer Labs’ capacity for boundless creativity.

As visitors are enveloped by the sounds of Mexico and the rich scent of roasted agave and oak, they will also have the chance to craft and sip on their own signature Tequila Don Julio cocktails using fresh ingredients and artisanal tools. Mexico is the home of Don Julio, so the brand wanted this project to encapsulate the magic of the region and connect visitors to Mexico in a deeper way.

​“Don Julio González devoted his life to crafting tequila of the highest quality,” said Karina Sánchez, Global Brand Ambassador for Tequila Don Julio. “This experience honors his unwavering spirit of innovation—a place where tradition and imagination converge, inviting guests to celebrate the extraordinary that can be achieved when passion fuels every step of the journey.”

The experience will take place from June 12-15, and complimentary tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis at experiencedonjulio.com/ga.
