Flavourful experience - This was a great opportunity to learn about the artisanal mezcals and traditional moles. It was my first time trying all moles and pairing them with such a variety of drinks too. This was a great introduction to mexican food heritage.

The Perfect Introduction to Mezcal (and Mole!) - I had an absolutely fantastic experience with my guide, Ro. She was incredibly knowledgeable and answered my many questions in a way that was easy for a layperson to understand. We primarily spoke in Spanish, but whenever I struggled to follow, she seamlessly switched to English, which made the experience even more comfortable. While I originally came for the mezcal tasting, the mole pairing ended up being a huge highlight. I had never been much of a fan of mole before, probably because I’d only had mediocre versions, but this completely changed my perspective. I left a true fan and even brought some of my favorites home. Fair warning: you’ll likely leave with a few bottles of mezcal as well. Ro thoughtfully wrapped mine in bubble wrap so they made it home safely in my luggage. This tasting is a fantastic way to learn about and appreciate the nuances of mezcal before visiting the distilleries themselves. 10/10 experience, absolutely worth the price and highly recommended.

Better than I even hoped! - If you like mezcal and mole, this is the activity for you :-). The sommelier was wonderful and full of knowledge and insights. Also, personable and flexible. The pairings were fascinating. My husband does not drink at all, and still enjoyed the moles and their explanations very much. This is also a restaurant of some sort, and we stayed on for dinner. The sommelier was also the chef, and made us a fantastic dinner, even though she didn't expect us. Two of our party are vegetarian, and she did a terrific and imaginative job adjusting for them.

We learned quite a bit... - We learned quite a bit about mezcal during the evening and it was interesting tasting the mezcal with the moles. The difference in taste was sometimes quite surprising. We were the only two at the tasting, so it was a more intimate experience. Would have been fun to interact with others as well. Good times.
