In this Moles tasting it will not only be a test of each one, but rather you will have the opportunity to listen to the history and rituals of Oaxacan food, each mole will be served in the different ways in which we locals enjoy it every day. We will have dynamics where you will learn about the general ingredients of each mole and you will be surprised to discover the fusions of flavors. Each mole is a different dish, which will make you end up very satisfied and happy to have joined us.
We have unlimited mezcal along with the moles, so that you also end up being a mezcal expert at the end of the tasting.
It is not a cooking class, but we also offer a class where you can learn to make two of the moles that we will present to you here, so you can ask us about that class.

What To Expect
You must come hungry because you will have a dish for Mole, you will end up so full that it will be your lunch and dinner! We will have an experience of flavors like you have never had before, with ingredients that you find in our state and that make us characteristic of all of Mexico and the world. In this experience you will try the 7 types of moles made exclusively for your delight, first we will cool off from the heat with a delicious fresh water. We will continue testing the moles from the mildest or subtlest flavor to the strongest and with more ingredients (should I tell you that between moles we will have a kiss of mezcal so that you can appreciate the flavors to the fullest? hahaha; but don't worry, we will always have water if you don't drink; D), it should be noted that 5 of the 7 moles that you will try are almost impossible to find in restaurants because many are used for special occasions such as weddings, baptisms, XV years, marriage proposals and each one has earned its place in our culture and now culinary rituals that we have in the state, we will eat it in different presentations and thus you will discover each flavor so that when you leave you will be a taster of Oaxacan moles

Seite moles, Cinco Rstrellas!

5.00This experience was one of the best ones I've had in travel. Hector and his sister were extremely personable, and a wealth of information. We tasted seven moles, each made in-house. It's not just tasting on a chipper spoon, it comes as a mezze or tapa. It was definitely filling! Hector starts the experience by explaining about oaxaca's geography and its place within mexico. It is one of the most culturally and biodiverse regions of North america! He then explained and had a smell different kinds of chiles, spices, and herbs. We would be tasting for those flavors in each of the moles to follow. Has one does with a wine tasting, we started with the simplest and lightest, red, progressed through yellow, and then all the way up to a black bow light, which actually was black. Hector explained it was due to a difficult to find chile, which rarely finds itself outside of oaxaca. I'm intentionally comparing the mole tasting to wine tastings, because the flavors were so vomplex and surprising! Although this was not a cooking class, he shared enough guidelines and ideas for me to experiment when I get back to my own kitchen. We also had a mezcal tasting. The old cliche, if it grows together, it goes together, it was absolutely true here. I learned that Mezcal is the sophisticated older brother of tequila. There are dozens of different cacti that can be used in the scale, versus the only two in tequila. I learned the difference between copper distillation and terracotta. I picked up a real appreciation for spirit I knew very little about, just thought it was smoky tequila. Finally, he recommended several restaurants. Michelin agrees with a couple of them! It's hard to imagine a better experience if you are an avid cook or enthusiastic eater.

5.00Hector was our host for the tour and his sister was the chef! He gave us so much interesting information about the history of Mexico, Oaxaca, and the cuisine! Then, we got to try each of the 7 moles with a bit of food(rice, chicken, etc), so you get plenty to eat! The moles were all SO good!! I would definitely recommend this experience if you want to learn more about mole and get to try it! One thing to keep in mind, the GPS takes you to a slightly different house, go instead down the small side road, Hector's home is at the end of that road. We also had a little mix up with the start time (though it all worked out fine), but I would just recommend verifying the start time the day before.
Moles, Moles, Moles!

5.00This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Oaxaca. My suggestion--do not miss this very thorough, engaging, informative, and tasty introduction to the moles of Oaxaca. Hector was delightful and very knowledgeable about the area's history and culture. We learned about the nuances of the different recipes and the cultural significance of the moles. The moles were better than the moles we had at some of the "fancy" restaurants in town. Hector's descriptions, the presentation of the moles, and the location of the tasting (in a comfortable space in front of his home) were top tier. GPS seems a bit wonky and might take you a few doors from his place so if you take a taxi or Uber (as we did) you might have Hector explain to the driver his exact location. Highly recommend this delightful outing.
Tasty moles tasting!

5.00My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Hector does a great job of keeping everyone engaged. He has a creative way of showing how the moles are prepared without this being a cooking Class. I would not recommend purchasing the unlimited Mezcal. It really isn’t that good of Mezcal and one shot is enough.
Tasty trip not to be missed.

5.00My boyfriend and I were the only ones with the guide, whose name I believe is Hector (I’m terrible with names). With us being the only two it was great to get that one on one experience and feel like we weren’t just a number. He was able to explain the origin and go over ingredients and would ask us to try and figure what ingredients or spices were what. Oswaldo the cook made the 7 moles and each were amazing. We had a great time! Would recommend this to everyone!
