The Belgrove Resort & Spa West Palm Beach

On October 29, from 6 to 9 p.m., Society 48 will host an intimate Don Julio pairing experience in its private dining room. Guests can sample Don Julio 70 Cristalino and Don Julio Añejo alongside handcrafted chocolates selected to complement each tequila’s flavor profile. Following the tasting, guests can create their own floral planter using blooms, natural elements, and a mini Don Julio bottle to take home. Tickets are $45 per person and available via Eventbrite. 
Then, on Halloween night, the resort will host its second annual The Belgrove After Dark: A Halloween Affair, featuring cocktails, a Halloween-inspired culinary experience, live DJ entertainment, a photo booth, tarot readings, and more. Tickets are available on Eventbrite, with the option to purchase an overnight package inclusive of a deluxe guest room, two event tickets, Champagne, breakfast for two, late checkout, and a welcome amenity.

HMF at The Breakers

Over on the island, The Breakers’ lounge space’s elegantly haunted ambiance sets the stage for a night of culinary creativity and cocktail flair. A special à la carte menu will feature the Monster Lobster Sushi Roll, Black Lagoon Sea Bass Ceviche, Out of the Crypt Mini Cider Donuts, and Spider Web Pie, complemented by themed drinks (think: the Black Widow, Blood Type O Margarita, Candy Apple, Eye See You, and Witches Brew). Seating is based on availability.

Beyond HMF, toast to the occasion with featured cocktails, including Echo’s Apple Rum Old Fashioned, Henry’s Spooky Cider, and Seafood Bar’s The Spiced Cauldron.
