A new series of festive experiences
Cacao Ceremony
Join us in this fun, uplifting experience where you will sing, pray and set intentions together to the beat of ancient drums and chants in a safe environment. Cacao bore great significance in Mayan mythology, with cacao ceremonies used not only for medicinal and spiritual purposes, but also for inner awakenings and creative guidance.
California Dreamin’ Cocktail Class
Enjoy a welcome ponche as you immerse in the festive spirit and learn how to prepare three different cocktails inspired by the spiced Mexican fruit punch traditionally served during the holidays. In this interactive, drop-in class, you will learn the art of blending with Nacho’s garden herbs and ingredients for holiday cocktails you will want to make any time of year.
Pickleball Tournament
Serve, shadow, smash – get in on the action at Esperanza’s second pickleball tournament of the year, open to guests and locals alike. All entrants receive special amenities including tournament T-shirts and more.
