Best Tasting Experience - One of the best tasting experiences that we have had. We loved learning about the different moles and trying them side by side. The mezcal was also fantastic. We brought our 12 year old daughter and she was able to try the moles too!

The best Mezcal and Mole pairing in Oaxaca - Had a great time pairing Mole and Mezcal, I had no idea how delicious are the Mezcals with all the different types of Moles . Even if you are begginer or someone that knows about Mezcal , you definitely learn a lot of the traditional Mezcals and about the delicious Moles. Arturo was very knowledgeable and explains a lot , this is a most do in Oaxaca . Highly recommended.

Perfect Experience for Regional Musts! - This is an absolute must when experiencing Oaxaca! Daniel and his team, as well as the location of this special event are unparalleled! We had such an amazing time learning about mezcal and molè and of course, with the pairings together! It was literally perfect and the highlight of our trip! We have already recommended this to so many people that we have met on our travels and people back home. We hope everyone has this amazing experience to learn about these culturally significant culinary delights led by Daniel’s passion and expertise! We will, for sure be returned on our next visit to Oaxaca!

Book it now! - A wonderful experience! The miles and mezcales were delicious and we got to learn so much about the history and production of both. There were multiple parties booked in our tasting group and the host encouraged lots of social interaction. It was a blast. Highly recommended!

Great experience - Really unique experience. The mole and the mezcal were so good, not to mention the beverage provided at the beginning. The only bad part was bringing back a souvenir for a friend and haven’t been able to contact the tour via their website or any other method since. There was an option to do the same version with the gift bazo I gave to my friends, but no response from the tour since I left Mexico🫤.

A “Must” in Oaxaca - An educational and enjoyable introduction to mezcal and mole in Oaxaca. Cami did a wonderful job with our group and was very knowledgeable. We enjoy learning about food and culture and had many questions for her. Moles were very tasty and the event space itself was lovely. Welcome drinks were delicious.

Worthy - Mole pairing with crafted mezcals, what a treat! Kami is knowledgeable and personable and went above and beyond the class for me as I left my phone at the tasting (remember…there is mezcal involved☺️). This was a truly great experience and I highly recommend this event.

Knowledgeable and friendly - The Mezcal and Mole session was extremely thorough and informative. It's a bit out of the way from the center of town which made transportation a challenge.
