Overview

While there are other mezcal and tequila tastings available, this experience stands out due to our commitment to showcasing only rare and artisanal spirits from small-batch producers, rather than offering low-quality industrial spirits. This dedication to quality allows for a more refined and authentic tasting experience, as guests can learn about the unique production processes and history of each mezcal while enjoying the complex and nuanced flavors that only premium agave spirits can offer.

The rich tastes and minerality of the mezcals are enhanced to perfection by pairing them with cheeses. Additionally, the stunning setting of Mamazul Tulum Mezcaleria enhances the overall experience, making it a truly unforgettable and one-of-a-kind opportunity.

What's Included

  • Alcoholic beverages 6 Tequila and Mezcal from different Mexican States will be included, plus pairing with 6 cheeses

    What To Expect

    We will sample six classic, small-batch mezcals and tequilas, the majority of which will be sourced directly from the producers, and match them with Mexican artisanal cheeses.
    The rich tastes and minerality of the mezcales are enhanced to perfection by the cheeses.

    We offer tequilas from some of the best producers in Mexico and
    not only will there be mezcales from Oaxaca, but also from states like Michoacán, Sonora, Durango, and Guerrero. We will talk about how the various distillation techniques, the terroir, and the Maestro's experience impact the final spirit.

    We will learn how to consume mezcal as well as how NOT to (orange slices are a NONO!), what the differences between mezcal and tequila are, who the producers are, and why the DO only recognizes 9 States that can legally make mezcal when historically mezcal is a cultural heritage of ALL Mexico.

    We will go through the negative effects of industrial mezcales as well as the necessity of preserving biodiversity, local economies, and mezcal producers.
    We will also discover more about the past, present, and future of mezcal.
    Following your experience, we recommend dining at Mamazul, try the fettuccine with birria!
