Fun relaxing and educational experience - We had an amazing time. Arturo did a great job explaining everything and recovered well from the impromptu move forced by the rain. My husband and I did not think either of us were mole fans. Turns out we just needed to find the right one for us and thanks to Arturo’s knowledge we actually ended up buying two to take home with us . I highly recommend this experience.

A Mezcal tour for all of your senses - I found Mezcal & Mole via Two Gay Expats on YouTube when I was researching where to take my in-laws while they were traveling with us. They love mezcal and rich flavors, so it sounded like a perfect experience. We were greeted by the owner, Daniel, and Arturo, both certified sommeliers. They welcomed us as if we were visitors to their home. The previous group was just finishing; a quartet from Denmark who did their tasting with an ice cream pairing (they loved it). We were served seven samples with different flavor profiles along with moles, several which were traditional to the region. What an experience! We were there more than two hours and invited to indulge our senses. We will have to buy another suitcase to fit all the mezcal and mole we brought back with us. Highly recommended.

A Must for Foodies! - Oaxaca is the home of mezcal and mole, so this elegant and engaging presentation was a great start to our visit. We feel much more competent navigating menus and choosing drink now that Daniel gave us this orientation. Since we are wine drinkers, his knowledge of pairing wines helped us make the connections between the complex flavors of mezcal and the art of pairing it with food. I would recommend this event for every foodie and every wine aficionado visiting Oaxaca.

Wonderful mezcal and mole tasting - We really enjoyed the mezcal and mole tasting. It was very thoughtfully done and the pairings were so interesting. We had some of the best mole and mezcal on our trip during this tasting. Arturo was an excellent sommelier - we learned a lot, but it felt very comfortable and approachable. I would definitely do this tasting again if we're in town and would highly recommend to others looking for a more elevated mezcal tasting experience.

This was so insightful... - This was so insightful and the best way to wrap up my trip. I did the tasting at the end of my trip because I wanted to taste all the moles. I got a chance to purchase some before leaving (the next day). Also, they were super accommodating as I was the only guest in my session but they gave me tons of attention and explained everything thoroughly.
