CALIFORNIA CULTURAL HISTORY INSPIRES PREMIUM MEXICAN TEQUILA
The inspiration for our brand, María Rita Valdez de Villa, was a true Afro-Latina pioneer and one of the first female landowners in California. Maria Rita was the granddaughter of Luis and Maria Quintero, two of the original settlers of Pueblo de Los Angeles. In 1838 she was granted 4,539 acres of land that she built into the cattle ranch known as El Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas or “The Ranch of the Gathering Waters.” In the mid 20th Century, El Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas was developed into what is now Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive.
