In order to provide an exclusive experience, attendance is limited to 20 guests.

Some of the special events we have planned include:

The Hacienda, built in 1567, is 40,000 square feet and is one of the oldest buildings in North America. We will explore the rooms and grounds that have maintained their original designs. There are also tropical gardens, orchards, a chapel, and riding stables. The city is also well known for its Talavera pottery, which has been produced there since the 18th century. We will visit the factory that makes the famous Talavera catrinas, where you can shop for pottery, including their meticulously handmade Day of the Dead figures that embody all the colorful charm of Mexico.
♦ Tour and lunch at Hacienda de Chichimequillas, a World Heritage Site founded by the Carmelite monks in the 17th century, with captivating architecture, gardens, and chapel.
♦ Fabulous food at our favorite restaurants in San Miguel’s historic district and in beautiful private homes with live entertainment.

♦ Tour of Feed the Hungry Headquarters to see our operation in action, enjoy lunch prepared by our chefs from menus featured in our school lunch program, and a visit to a rural school to meet the children who benefit from your patronage. Previous attendees have said that the school visit was a highlight of the tour, seeing the students enjoying the hot meals we are able to provide thanks to their support.
