Authentic Mezcal Experience Oaxaca Small Group Local Producers

Mezca-licious time

We did the mezcal tour and had such an amazing time! It was so much fun, incredibly authentic, and we learnt so much about mezcal, the traditions, and the process behind it. You can really tell how passionate and knowledgeable the people are. Such a memorable experience and definitely something we’d recommend to anyone visiting!

Make Oaxacan-style take-home chocolate

Great Chocolate Workshop

I did this with my 8-year-old son, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything about it was great — the hands-on chocolate-making process, the tasting, the setting — but what really made it special was our instructor, Edgar. Edgar was genuinely warm and full of energy the entire time, and he had a wonderful way with kids. Rather than just letting my son tag along, he gave him real ownership over parts of the process, which made him so proud and engaged. Edgar also taught us a few words in Xapotet along the way, which added a lovely layer of cultural connection to the experience. This isn’t just a chocolate-making class — it’s a genuinely memorable, well-run experience for the all ages. Highly recommend, and ask for Edgar if you can!
