An exclusive pre-event experience.
Ahead of the XV Annual Gourmet & Golf Classic 2026, Poker & Paradise convenes a curated group of founders, investors, executives, and industry leaders for an evening of Texas Hold'em, elevated hospitality, and meaningful connection in Punta Mita.
Great people. Great experience. Great cause.
Each event we host is intentionally designed as a social environment where the game serves as an opportunity for connection, conversation, and community.
We pair Texas Hold'em with world-class hospitality, breathtaking destinations, and a meaningful charitable purpose — creating evenings that guests genuinely remember.
From sunset cocktails to the final hand, every detail is composed to feel warm, unhurried, and elevated.
