Heirloom Corn Meets Mezcal at Mezcal Culture Fest: A One-Night-Only Culinary Journey with Chef Gustavo Romero of Oro by Nixta

Miami Beach, FL, June 04, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Mezcal Culture Fest 2025, the premier celebration of agave spirits and Mexican culture in South Florida, announces a marquee culinary event featuring one of the most acclaimed chefs in the country. On Friday, June 27, Chef Gustavo Romero of Minneapolis' Oro by Nixta—named one of Bon Appétit’s Best New Restaurants of 2024—will headline a one-night-only mezcal pairing dinner at Moxy South Beach.

The exclusive dinner experience will honor the rich agricultural heritage of Mexico through the use of heirloom corn, paired with an expertly curated lineup of artisanal mezcals. Joining Romero in the kitchen is Executive Chef Dan Wood and the culinary team at Moxy South Beach, who together will deliver a multi-course journey through flavors that span regions and generations.

“Corn is more than an ingredient — it’s a story, a legacy,” said Romero, whose restaurant has earned national recognition for elevating Mexico’s 59 native corn varieties. “When you taste these dishes, you’re tasting generations of culture.”

Each course will be paired with a different mezcal, offering guests an immersive look at the deep-rooted relationship between traditional Mexican agriculture and its revered agave spirits. Featured spirits include selections from Del Maguey, Mezcal Ilegal, and other top producers.

In addition to celebrating Mexico’s culinary traditions, the dinner also supports the work of S.A.C.R.E.D. (Saving Agave for Culture, Recreation, Education, and Development), a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting rural mezcal-producing communities in Mexico. A portion of the proceeds will go toward initiatives such as agave replanting, sustainable water solutions, and community infrastructure development.
