Arrived into a refuge during an afternoon rain -- my tasting station had been set up with 7 mezcals and accompanying mole samples to taste. Each pairing was remarkably different and delicious. Carlos is very fun to chat with, is very knowledgeable, and gave some suggestions for later activities.

This was a super fun experience and one I would definitely recommend when visiting Oaxaca. Our group was small it was myself and another couple who were really sweet. I loved that our group was small because it allowed us to go at our own pace, ask questions, and have more personalized conversation with our host. I think her name was Marisol, but I could totally be remembering incorrectly. I enjoyed tasting all of the different moles and mezcals and learning more about their origin, flavor profiles, and history. In total we had a welcome drink and tried 7 different mezcals and moles. I did not feel rushed at all during this experience, which I really appreciated. Also, I have to give a special thanks to the person who I think was the owner? As I was traveling by myself he helped me navigate an uncomfortable taxi situation, advocated on my behalf, and gave me advice for helping me safely get to my next destination. I really appreciated that extra support and attention as a solo, female traveler. If I were to come back to Oaxaca I would look for other experiences this company provides.
A highlight of our Oaxaca visit

What a great experience! We loved the tasting and our host, Carlos, was informative and enthusiastic. He made everything fun and interesting. We even met another couple there and went out after for beers and dancing! I highly recommend this, especially if you're curious about mole or mezcal. This was very different from the mezcals we've had in the US. Plus, all of the moles are vegetarian so we could try them all. Great experience and worth every penny.
What an amazing...

What an amazing experience! Arturo did a wonderful job explaining the rich history of both mole and mezcal, as well as guiding us through the tasting. Both fun and informative. I highly recommend checking it out!
