A second-generation Mexican American dedicated to promoting the participation of women in the spirits industry, Celia Villanueva Maestri grew her family legacy into Casa Maestri, one of the fastest-growing premium tequila producers in the world.
Her passion and commitment were recognized by Mexico’s former President, Enrique Peña Nieto with the National Export Award in 2018 and the Women of the Vine & Spirits global membership organization. The Entrepreneurs Herald also recognized her as one of the “Top 30 Female Entrepreneurs to Look Out for in 2022.”
The kind of person who can’t take no for an answer, Celia always seeks to solve problems with concrete proposals, never with more problems. “I own not only one, but many tequila brands that have conquered palates around the world,” she says. “One of the most famous and the flagship brand of my distiller is Casa Maestri Reserva de MFM.”
A brand driven by quality and dignified representation of Mexican culture, Casa Maestri seeks the highest of standards from the selection of agaves to the care in the distillation process and to the attention to detail noticeable in every sip. “We are not like any other tequila distillery in the world and certainly Casa Maestri’s Reserva de MFM is not like any tequila you’ve had before,” says Celia.
