Luxury Tequila Partida Debuts in Canada With Familia and Roble Fino Expressions
Press Release
VANCOUVER, BC, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tequila Partida, the award-winning luxury tequila brand from Lucas Bols, today announced its official launch in Canada, marking the next chapter in the brand's international expansion. Through Lucas Bols USA & Canada and national distribution partner Breakthru Beverage Group, one of the leading beverage wholesalers in the United States and the largest broker in Canada, the launch begins in British Columbia, introducing Canadian consumers to Tequila Partida's Pure philosophy.
The Canadian debut follows Tequila Partida's successful expansion into the Benelux region in 2025 and continues the brand's international growth across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and now North America. As one of Mexico's most respected luxury tequila houses, Tequila Partida continues to bring its uncompromising approach to craftsmanship to discerning tequila enthusiasts around the world.
Premium tequila continues to gain momentum in Canada as consumers increasingly seek authenticity, provenance and exceptional craftsmanship. For the past twenty years, Tequila Partida has remained dedicated to one simple belief: exceptional tequila begins with exceptional agave.
Produced in the Valley of Jalisco, Mexico, Tequila Partida showcases the pure expression of 100% Mature Blue Weber agave through meticulous production methods and a relentless commitment to quality. From the award-winning Familia collection to the innovative Roble Fino range, every bottle reflects the brand's philosophy of honoring agave above all else.
The Canadian launch follows another landmark year for the brand. Tequila Partida Familia Blanco earned a Gold Medal at the 2025 Global Spirits Masters, Familia Reposado received Best in Show at the 2025 New Orleans Spirits Competition, Familia Añejo won Gold at the 2024 Global Spirits Masters, and Roble Fino was recently named Best Luxury Tequila 2025 by Wine Enthusiast. Together, these accolades reinforce Tequila Partida's reputation as one of the world's most awarded luxury tequila brands.
"Canada is one of the world's most exciting premium spirits markets, making it the ideal next step in Tequila Partida's international growth," said Brett Dunne, Managing Director, Lucas Bols USA & Canada. "Consumers are looking for authenticity, provenance and craftsmanship and qualities that have defined Tequila Partida for the past twenty years.
