Looking to transform your next corporate meeting into an unforgettable experience? Velas Resorts’ new MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) offerings are just what you need. Focusing on Mexican culture, creativity, and culinary exploration, these innovative programs foster collaboration and strengthen team bonds while offering an immersive dive into Mexico’s vibrant traditions.
At Grand Velas Los Cabos, the “Brushes, Catrinas, and Cocktails” program offers a unique experience that combines art and mixology, inviting participants to immerse themselves in the colorful world of Mexican culture. Teams work together to paint Catrinas, the beautifully adorned skeletal figures that symbolize the celebration of life. This activity is accessible to all skill levels, allowing participants to express their artistic flair while connecting with a shared cultural journey.
But the fun doesn’t stop there: Participants enjoy signature cocktails handcrafted by the resort’s expert mixologists after the painting session. Among the highlights are the Mictlan, a striking black cocktail made with Charanda, an ancestral spirit, tangerine juice, lime, and a tincture of wood ashes, and the Alebrije, an orange-hued delight crafted with tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and pumpkin candy.
Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta offers the Floral Workshop and Botanical Mocktails Experience for teams seeking a more tranquil and wellness-inspired activity. Set in a serene botanical garden, participants begin by creating beautiful floral crowns or arrangements. Following the workshop, they learn to craft mocktails using fresh herbs and spices harvested from the onsite garden—an aromatic and refreshing way to connect with nature while fostering creativity.
At Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, MICE guests can participate in the Huichol Beading and Raicilla Cocktail Class, which introduces them to the intricate art of Huichol beadwork. Team members personalize their cocktail shakers using vibrant beads most commonly used by the region’s indigenous people, creating functional art that reflects their style. The experience continues with a cocktail-making class using raicilla, a traditional and lesser-known Mexican spirit from the Pacific Coast. Participants craft signature drinks using their custom-made shakers.
Velas Resorts’ new MICE experiences are designed to strengthen team members’ connections while offering an authentic, engaging way to explore Mexican culture. Each activity is crafted to be fun and enriching, ensuring memorable moments and bringing participants closer together while deepening their connection to Mexico’s traditions.
