Model Kendall Jenner has scheduled a visit to Michigan in October for a meet-and-greet event related to her 818 Tequila brand. According to an announcement on Top Shelf Liquor’s Facebook page, the event will take place at the liquor store, located at 6660 Allen Road in Allen Park. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 11th, as she will be there from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

It's important to keep in mind that securing a place in line does not guarantee you a signed bottle or the opportunity to meet Jenner. Additionally, they want people to know that only 818 Tequila bottles will be autographed, and professional photography is not allowed.

In a recent promotional tour, Jenner made stops at liquor shops in New York City, including the Park Avenue Liquor Shop, where she personally signed 818 Tequila bottles for customers. She also visited the Sugar Factory in Times Square, where she tasted their signature Goblet cocktails, "Cali Love" and "Pretty in Pink," both of which feature 818 Tequila.

About Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila

In 2021, Jenner introduced her 818 Tequila brand on Instagram, emphasizing the extensive time and effort invested in its creation. "For almost four years I've been on a journey to create the best-tasting tequila. after dozens of blind taste tests, trips to our distillery, entering into world tasting competitions anonymously and WINNING..3.5 years later I think we've done it!" Jenner wrote in a 2021 Instagram post.

This handcrafted liquor brand hails from Jalisco, Mexico, according to the 818 website. And it has several awards from tasting competitions, including recognition at the World Tequila Awards in 2020, where it received awards for Best Reposado Tequila and Best Añejo Tequila.

818 Tequila appears to draw its name from the San Fernando Valley area code, which is associated with Kendall Jenner's hometown in northern Los Angeles, California. Currently, the brand offers diverse tequila options, including blanco, añejo, reposado, and reserve.
