Mexico's Tropical Fruit Guided Tasting in Mexico City
Overview
This is not a cooking class or a typical food tour, it’s a juicy, flavor-packed dive into Mexico’s tropical bounty, led by a local fruit enthusiast.
If you choose the full experience, you’ll begin with a guided walk through a traditional market in Mexico city, where your host will handpick and open a variety of exotic fruits for you to try, some familiar, others wildly unexpected. Prefer to skip the market? You can opt for the tasting session only, in a relaxed setting.
While tasting, you’ll learn about:
Nutritional benefits
Cultural roots and regional stories
Seasonal availability and local farming
Traditional uses in Mexican cuisine, drinks, and even remedies
From tart guanábana to creamy mamey, spicy tamarind to refreshing pitaya, this experience will awaken your taste buds and immerse you in the flavors of the Yucatán and beyond.
What's Included
- Snacks all the fruits you will eat are included
- Any other fruit, food or drink you would like to buy for your own.
