About Manny:
Ever since my first taste at the young age of 13 years old I began to cultivate my appreciation for all things tequila. Proudly born and raised in Mexico City, my family owned and operated many bars and restaurants in the city and its surrounding areas. This first taste of tequila was provided to me by my father, who wasted no time honing my palate and augmenting my knowledge of this amazing spirit.
After many years in the hospitality and tourism industry in my homeland and the Americas, I made my way to Toronto in 2009 where I was presented with the exciting challenge of mastering the bar and restaurant scene in a new and vibrant city. After working in many Bartender and Bar Manager roles in Toronto I worked towards certification as Maestro Tequilero (Master Tequilier) and was certified by the Acedemia Mexicana del Tequila in early 2013. The coveted title of Maestro Tequilier is bestowed upon only 500 individuals worldwide and I am proud to say that I am the only Master Tequilier working in Canada today.
