Blissful In Balvanera

Khoury Ashooh, Sophie Cahn & Jessica Ashooh

British Polo Day, presented by Land Rover, returned to Querétaro’s prestigious Balvanera Polo & Country Club for the ninth leg of the British Polo Day 2015 Global Series. In celebration of The Dual Year between Mexico and the UK, some 400 guests and VIPs came together under the glorious Mexican sunshine to celebrate the best of both British and Mexican tradition, craft and heritage. Guests enjoyed tequila tasting at the historic Casa Dragones, Champagne Taittinger tasting and dinner hosted by Hotel Matilda and a ‘Dual Year Dinner’, with a traditional Royal Salute Quaich Experience, hosted by the De Alba family at their Mexican Hacienda. A delicious lunch celebrating the best of Mexican culinary creativity was shortly followed by a live auction and the classic Brompton Bicycle Polo match. The afternoon’s polo saw Conade Mexico Polo take on Hackett British Exiles in the Land Rover Balvanera Plate, followed by the RJI Capital British Schools against hosts Inspirato Balvanera in the Hackett Cristina Romo Trophy.
