Viva La Vida: A Mexican Culinary Fiesta at AER - Where Mumbai Meets Mexico in the Sky

Mumbai, October 2025 – This October, AER at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai transforms into a sky-high celebration of Mexico's culinary soul with Viva La Vida, a nine-day festival of flavour, rhythm, and spirit. From 25th October to 2nd November 2025, Mumbai's most iconic rooftop destination invites guests to savour la vida buena - the good life - through a curated Mexican experience that's bold, sensory, and unmistakably AER.

A Taste of Mexico, Elevated

AER's panoramic rooftop will be reimagined in hues of fiesta and fire - where modern Mexican plates, tropical flavours, and agave-led cocktails converge under the stars. Expect a seamless blend of culinary artistry and electric energy, where every sip and every bite becomes a celebration of life itself. This exclusive event adds to the city's vibrant best rooftop lounges in Mumbai offering yet another unforgettable dining experience.

The Visionary: Chef Jason Hudanish

At the helm of Viva La Vida is Chef Jason Hudanish, a Miami-born culinary artist and F&B consultant with over two decades of global experience. Renowned for his expressive, ingredient-first approach, Chef Jason crafts dishes that pay homage to Mexico's vibrant roots while reimagining them with modern finesse.

From the bustling kitchens of Miami to contemporary pop-ups across India, Jason's cooking tells a story - of colour, culture, and connection. At AER, he presents a bespoke Mexican menu that's soulful yet sophisticated, each creation reflecting his signature ethos of translating culture into cuisine. This festival joins the ranks of exceptional culinary events, much like the soul of Mexico experiences that have captivated food enthusiasts across India.

Agave, Reimagined: The Cocktail Journey

To complement Chef Jason's creations, AER's expert mixologists unveil a curated agave-forward cocktail collection, starring the world's finest tequilas and mezcals - including Clase Azul, Don Julio 1942, and bespoke AER signatures like the AER Picante, now infused with a Mexican twist. The cocktail program echoes the innovative spirit seen in events like Twilight Elixirs cocktail experiences at AER.

AER After Sunset: The Rhythm of Viva La Vida

As dusk gives way to Mumbai's glittering skyline, AER transforms into a rooftop carnival - pulsing with Latin and Afro-Latin house beats, glowing lights, and the signature vibe that defines the Four Seasons. Each evening becomes a toast to vida y alegría - life and joy - where the city's tastemakers gather to dine, dance, and celebrate the beauty of shared moments high above the bay. The venue continues to build on its reputation for bringing luxury dining experiences that define Mumbai's culinary landscape.

In the Words of Four Seasons

"At Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, we're always inspired to bring people together through exceptional food, cocktails, and atmosphere," shares Nitesh Gandhi, General Manager. "With Viva La Vida, we're celebrating the artistry and warmth of Mexican culture in a way that feels vibrant yet elevated - where every detail captures the joy of togetherness that defines life at AER." This philosophy aligns with Four Seasons' approach to creating tailored experiences that bring people together.

Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai continues to offer distinctive festive celebrations, as seen in their recent Diwali celebrations featuring luxurious hampers, demonstrating their commitment to creating memorable cultural experiences for guests.
