The 1799 + Desnuda Tequila Experience

As summer gives way to fall, join us for an unforgettable evening of exceptional food, world-class tequila, and meaningful connection at 1799 Kitchen & Bar Room.

The chefs in 1799 have thoughtfully crafted a decadent five-course tasting menu inspired by the vibrant flavors of Latin cuisine and Tennessee's late-summer bounty. Each course highlights the season's finest ingredients, artfully prepared to showcase bold flavors, refined technique, and a true sense of place.

Enhancing the experience, our talented mixologists have created a bespoke cocktail pairing for every course to complement and elevate each plate.

The evening's centerpiece features an exclusive guided tequila tasting led by the Master Distiller of Desnuda Tequila. Guests will enjoy a rare opportunity to explore the craftsmanship, heritage, and passion behind one of tequila's most distinctive expressions.
