It’s always nice to indulge in a bit of luxury and thanks to the Four Seasons there’s plenty of upcoming opportunities to experience the “finer things” in Orlando. From tequila dinners to new menu items there’s plenty to explore this time of year at the Four Seasons.
Casa Dragones Joven Tequila Dinner:
The five-course menu will be served at Plancha, the Resort’s lakeside Cuban American restaurant at the Tranquilo Golf Clubhouse. The full dinner will be paired with Casa Dragones Joven, a 100 percent blue agave Joven tequila. This master blend of silver tequila and extra aged tequila, rested in new American oak barrels for five years, lends a complex, smooth taste that is perfect for sipping and pairing with food.
