At the International Agave School, our mission is to educate and inspire people across the globe about agave spirits, the most complex, diverse, and rich category of spirits. We believe that just as sommeliers are integral to the success of restaurants, bars, and the beverage industry, the same should hold for agave professionals who specialize in mezcal, tequila, sotol, and other agave spirits. These professionals will elevate the world’s understanding of agave spirits, particularly in high-end Mexican restaurants, hospitality spaces, and corporate environments, ensuring that every sip tells a story of craftsmanship and cultural heritage.

Our program goes beyond technical expertise it’s about fostering a deeper connection to the land, culture, and the people who make these spirits possible. We emphasize sustainability and ethical practices, recognizing the importance of preserving the agave plant, its cultivation, and the communities that rely on it. Those involved in the agave production process should be celebrated and supported, as their work ensures that these spirits not only thrive but continue to enrich our global culture for generations to come.

Through our educational journey, we aim to elevate agave spirits to their rightful place on the global stage, challenging misconceptions, and showcasing their true complexity and versatility. Empowering the next generation of agave experts, we will help build a future where these spirits are celebrated responsibly, cultivated sustainably, and enjoyed with the respect they deserve. Our goal is not just to impart knowledge, but to inspire a global movement that recognizes agave spirits as one of the most extraordinary and dynamic beverage categories in the world.
