Join Oyamel as we celebrate our annual Day of the Dead festival, honoring Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo, with an intimate dinner hosted by Head Chef Omar Rodriguez. For this special two-night event, Chef Rodriguez drew inspiration from Oaxaca, Tamayo’s birthplace, and pre-Columbian Mexico, creating a multi-course menu taking guests on a culinary journey through Mexico’s history. As you move through the menu, sip masterly crafted cocktails utilizing the finest agave spirits, each paired perfectly by Oyamel’s expert beverage team and Chef Rodriguez.
The Día de los Muertos Chef's Experience Dinner is a GENERAL ADMISSION dinner – tables will be communal and you will likely be seated with other guests from outside of your party.
