Manchester has once again proved itself as a destination for world-class food and drink experiences, with Don Julio Tequila — Mexico’s most celebrated luxury tequila — officially opening its first-ever UK concession at Selfridges Manchester Trafford Centre on Monday 17th November 2025.

Just in time for the festive season, the launch marks a major milestone for Don Julio and firmly establishes Manchester as the home of modern Mexican craftsmanship and celebration in the UK.

A Taste of Tequila Luxury

Now open inside Selfridges Trafford Centre, the Don Julio concession is more than just a shopping space — it’s an immersive tequila experience. Guests are invited to step into the world of Don Julio, exploring the brand’s dedication to quality, authenticity, and the art of celebration.

Taking centre stage is the UK’s first-ever Don Julio 1942 vending machine — a playful yet ultra-luxurious feature allowing guests to purchase a Don Julio 1942 5cl mini bottle (RRP £20) using a special gold coin. It’s a fun and unexpected way to bring luxury tequila to life, and a reflection of the bold, creative spirit Manchester is known for.

A Festive Gifting Destination

Perfectly timed for Christmas gifting, the concession offers engraving services and a range of exclusive gift-with-purchase experiences, including elegant Don Julio 1942 sleeves, 5cl gift packs, and seasonal gifting accessories.

Whether you’re personalising a bottle for someone special or treating yourself to a collector’s item, this new Don Julio destination is redefining luxury spirits shopping in the North West.

Alongside the world-renowned Don Julio 1942, visitors can explore the full collection — from Don Julio Blanco to Don Julio Reposado — ideal for crafting a premium Margarita or Paloma at home.

Celebrating Mexican Craftsmanship in Manchester

Speaking about the launch, Bethany Western, Head of Tequila for Don Julio, said:

“At Don Julio Tequila, we aim to be an icon of celebration; a brand that embodies Mexican authenticity and craftsmanship while inspiring moments of true connection. Partnering with Selfridges to launch our first UK concession in Manchester marks an exciting step in taking Don Julio Tequila regionally, bringing our world of modern Mexican luxury to one of the country’s most vibrant cultural hubs.”

It’s a sentiment that feels perfectly at home in Manchester — a city that thrives on creativity, hospitality, and the joy of shared experiences.
