Taylor Steele’s Solento Tequila has finally landed in the Gold Coast, and it might just be the perfect fit. Derived from the Spanish translation of ‘slow sun,’ Solento Tequila is a celebration of appreciating life’s moments, of slowing down, and being fully present. It’s this ethos that makes Solento an ideal match for the Gold Coast scene.
Hidden away in the Currumbin Valley, Solento invited their nearest and dearest in an intimate celebration of friends, family and life. Throughout the afternoon, Steele reiterated back to the idea that life is too fast, and that people spend too much time and energy in the wrong places. By understanding what is important, we slow down, connect, and share moments with those we love, exactly what Solento is all about. An afternoon of music, food and tequila saw these core values come to life.
Founded by Steele in 2019, Solento Organic Tequila stands as a testament to excellence. It’s an award-winning, 100% USDA-certified organic tequila range, crafted at a single estate under the warm embrace of the Mexican sun. Made slowly in small batches, Solento Tequila embodies patience and dedication to craft.
Steele, originally from California, lived in Australia for five years and was inspired by the Northern NSW and Gold Coast. The vibrant surf culture and laidback lifestyle of these regions drew him to the area, spending significant time enjoying the surf and the sun.
“Solento Tequila is a spirit that embodies everything I enjoy and appreciate – the essence of slowing down, appreciating life’s moments, and savouring the taste of pure craftsmanship,” Filmmaker and Solento Tequila, Taylor Steele said.
Our team at Maake, working with Solento, helped bring the Gold Coast Launch to life. Damian De Giovanni, Maake’s co-founder, stated, “It was an absolute gift working alongside the Solento team to bring this unique experience to life. Since my first interactions with the brand, I’ve been drawn into not only the essence of what it stands for but how it elevates itself as an organic tequila. I suggest at some stage, pour a nip, add some ice, a slice of lemon, and embrace the moment too … TAKE IT SLOW.”
